Release Date: October 11, 2005
MONMOUTH, Ill. — Lisa Adams, a Latin and history major at Monmouth
College, is a recipient of the 2005 Carole Ann Ryan Award for college
foreign language teaching majors.
The Ryan Award is given annually by the Illinois Council on the Teaching
of Foreign Languages (ICTFL), a not-for-profit association established in
1987. Created in 2002 to recognize college students who are preparing to
become teachers of foreign languages, the award is presented to as many as
five promising students enrolled in Illinois colleges and universities.
Adams, a junior from McHenry, plans to become a Latin teacher.
Recipients receive complimentary registration for the ICTFL WinterFest, as
well as for the ICTFL Fall Conference, to be held this month in Lisle.
They also receive a one-year complimentary membership in ICTFL and an
award certificate, which will be presented at the fall conference awards
banquet.
The award commemorates the life and good works of the late president of
ICTFL, Carole Ann Ryan, who was a teacher and administrator at Illinois
College and was passionately dedicated to the preparation and careers of
students.
ICTFL has become the largest statewide foreign language teachers’
organization in Illinois, with more than 1,800 members who instruct from
the elementary through college levels. The Illinois Council also serves
the needs of more than a dozen affiliated foreign language teacher
organizations.
Adams, who attended Marian Central Catholic High School, is the daughter
of Tim and Missy Adams of McHenry.
