Newsflash - BBC Blogs win an award!

Sorry to 'interrupt' you Yanko, but I wanted to make a quick announcement.

The BBC student and teacher blogs have won an Elton award!

What's that? Well, it is a very special award given by the British Council for innovative English language resources. The British Council describes the awards as 'the Oscars of the English language teaching world'!

What's more, BBC Learning English has won a second Elton for our interactive soap opera, The Flatmates.

You can read more about the awards, and see some photos of the ceremony here.

I'm sure you'll join me in saying 'well done' to Paul and Carrie who work hard to look after these blogs. But we feel very strongly that the award really belongs to you - the student bloggers, the teacher bloggers and the whole learning community who have made these blogs so very special.

So, thank you... and congratulations! You are all winners!

William
