London, United Kingdom, December 18, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The British Council has announced that LinguaTV is among the finalists for the ELTons 2011 International Award. Now in their ninth year, the awards, run by the British Council and sponsored by Cambridge ESOL, are a celebration of excellence in English language teaching (ELT) from around the world.

The famous “Cambridge ESOL International Award for Innovation” rewards new, innovative and useful products and services developed outside of the UK. It is offered only to outstanding new language learning products and services, which use innovative ideas to help learners achieve their goals, or to innovative research which has clear practical benefits for English language teaching. It is one among three distinctions that are awarded yearly by the prestigious British Council. The members of the jury have nominated only six finalists out of a large number of applicants. LinguaTV is the first German finalist of the ELTons since over three years.

The Online-Video Language Course “Business English” offers the opportunity to prepare yourself quickly and efficiently for communicating perfectly in English in day-to-day business situations. It covers the most important topics in areas such as marketing, distribution, personnel, purchasing, accounting and finance. At the heart of the course are professionally produced videos, which show how the English language is implemented by native speakers in authentic business situations. Participants will learn new vocabulary with practical relevance as well as how to correctly use and pronounce these terms. In addition to the videos, there is a wide range of interactive exercises, which help you to learn and retain your newly learnt vocabulary including correct spelling and listening comprehension skills. Those who take this course both improve their English communication skills and attain the necessary confidence to be able to put this into practice in real-life business situations.
