Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs; English Language Fellow Program

Resumen

The Office of English Language Programs of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs announces an open competition for the 2001 English Language Fellow Program. The program consists of English Language Fellows, who are recent TEFL/TESL M.A. graduates (within the last five years), and senior English Language Fellows, who are experienced English as a foreign language teacher trainers. Public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in IRS regulation 26 CFR 1.501[c] may submit proposals to administer and manage the English Language Fellow Program, which is designed to provide universities, binational centers, teacher-training colleges, ministries of education and other educational language institutions worldwide with professionally trained American expertise in English as a Foreign Language (EFL). The goal of this program is to promote the teaching of English to facilitate democratic institution building and to encourage participation in the global economy. An introduction to American English, methodology and materials opens the door for advanced study in the U.S., and to develop and promote mutual understanding.
