Dr. Charles Moore, who has taught Spanish for 12 years at Gardner-Webb University, was honored as the 2009 Teacher of Excellence by the Southern Conference on Language Teaching.
This was the first time Moore had been nominated for the SCOLT award, which he received at the group's convention in Atlanta March 6. Moore said the glass plaque he received at the ceremony is on a table in his office.
"It was just a thrill to be at a big luncheon on the top floor of the Renaissance Hotel in Atlanta with a view of the skyline," he said. "The venue couldn't have been more rewarding and exciting.
In a GWU press release before the ceremony, Moore had said the award was "a wonderful validation of my 25 years of teaching. It's a great thing to be viewed as 'successful' by one's peers and former students."
A nomination comes from a student, or colleague who is also a SCOLT member. The award candidate is ranked on teaching, service, scholarship and activity within SCOLT.
It is one of five regional affiliates of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages.
