English Language Fellow Program for Academic Year (AY) 2009-2010: The Office of English Language Programs of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs announces an open competition for proposals to advance the Bureau's objectives through support of academic exchanges that will result in the improvement of English teaching capacity around the world and the enhancement of mutual understanding between the people of the United States and those of other countries through exchanges of U.S. English language educators to all regions of the world. The English Language Fellow (EL Fellow) Program sends U.S. educators in the field of Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) on ten-month fellowships to overseas academic institutions. The Program also will bring Exchange EFL (English as a Foreign Language) Educators to the U.S. for a three-week workshop/institute including participation in the annual TESLO Convention. Pending the availability of Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 funds, the Bureau anticipates the placement of approximately 88 English Language Fellows (EL Fellows) overseas in AY 2009-2010. 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 administer and manage the EL Fellow Program for AY 2009-2010.
