Короткий зміст

The Office of English Language Programs of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs announces an open competition for the Pre-Academic English Language Training and Academic Readiness phase of the ECA Partnership for Learning Undergraduate Studies (PLUS) Program. Public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 U.S.C. 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to provide administrative and program support services for placing between 75 and 100 undergraduate students from the Middle East and North Africa in groups of no more than 14 students in appropriate United States Intensive English Programs (IEPs). These IEPs should be associated with U.S. colleges and universities offering a pre-academic program of intensive English language instruction, academic readiness, and acculturation to life and study in the United States. It is anticipated that most of the students will begin their pre-academic programs in January 2004 or the spring semester of the institution's academic calendar.
