Grant Description: The Fulbright Teacher Exchange Branch in the Office of Global Educational Programs of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, U.S. Department of State (ECA/A/S/X), announces an open competition for an assistance award in the amount of $500,000 for the Teachers of Critical Languages Program. As part of the National Security Language Initiative, the program aims to strengthen national security and prosperity in the 21st century through education, especially in developing foreign language skills of Americans. The pilot program will bring qualified teachers from China and Jordan to teach their native languages in U.S. school systems. Organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to administer this program. In addition to strengthening foreign language instruction at U.S. schools, the international teachers selected for the program will have the opportunity to learn about U.S. teaching methodologies, culture and society, and to improve their English language proficiency. The program should begin in late July or August 2006 with a comprehensive two-week orientation for Jordanian and Chinese participants on U.S. culture and society, including U.S. foreign language teaching methodologies.
