COMPETITION

Deadline 10 May 2010

For learners of English of 12 years and over

Be a guest of the Premier League at a Barclays Premier League game and win the football shirt of the team you support.

The Premier Connections competition -
http://premierskills.britishcouncil.org/premierconnections
gives learners of English aged 12 and over from anywhere in the world the chance to win fantastic prizes.

The competition is part of the Premier Skills project - http://premierskills.britishcouncil.org/
and involves finding connections between the places learners were born and a town or city where a Premier League club is based, and creating a short video or Powerpoint presentation with audio to illustrate these connections.

As it possible for an entry to come from two people working together, the competition lends itself to a classroom activity, but it can also be done individually.

There are sample entries, and online and downloadable guides for learners on the competition pages, and a special Premier Connections Teachers area - http://premierskills.britishcouncil.org/premierconnections-teachers
with suggestions for how the competition could be used as a classroom activity.

Posters (in colour and black and white) advertising the competition are attached to this message and can also be downloaded from the website.

You will also find a Premier Skills Schools Pack - http://premierskills.britishcouncil.org/teachers/schools-pack
on the site with downloadable classroom posters, worksheets, lesson plans, and learner training tips.

If you have any questions about the project or the competition please contact Michael Houten - michael.houten@britishcouncil.org
