About the event
The British Council’s ELTons Innovation Awards are twenty years old. The 2022 awards ceremony celebrated twenty years of innovation in English language teaching and learning.
We marked the occasion with a celebration of the people, teams and organisations who have made a difference in English language teachers’ and learners’ lives since the ELTons began.
This year’s host was Michael Rosen, one of the best-known and beloved figures in the children’s book world.
