In 2020 we Macmillan Education have three finalists in the running: The Wheels series and Global Stage in the "Excellence in Course Innovation" category and Navio in "Digital Innovation”.  The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony in London on October 2, 2020.

Now in their 18th year, the ELTons celebrate the most original courses, publications, projects, apps and platforms which are finding new ways to help English language learners and teachers around the world achieve their goals. The awards also recognise the organisations, teams and individuals whose original approaches are helping to shape the future of English language teaching and learning.

Navio

Navio is a next-generation digital platform that accompanies Macmillan Education’s English language courses for young learners. 

It brings together game design and English language learning in an app that motivates children to learn through play.
English courses come alive in this well-designed, immersive 3D environment, engaging students with game-based language activities, badges and rewards. At the same time, Navio’s smart tools for teachers save preparation time before the classes, and help create a more memorable teaching and learning experience during lessons.
