AFMLTA Inc. Medal for Outstanding Service to Language Teaching
The AFMLTA Inc. Medal for Outstanding Service is awarded to a person who has contributed to the teaching of languages other than English in Australia over an extended period.
An exceptional and outstanding contribution is to be regarded as one that has significantly influenced the pattern and/or quality of language teaching and learning in Australia in some beneficial way.
In most cases the recipient will be or will have been actively involved in the work of the AFMLTA Inc but, in exceptional circumstances, an award may also be made to someone who is not or has not been and would not normally be expected to be or to have been a member of an MLTA/LTA or to have contributed to AFMLTA Inc.
