English Language (EL) Fellow Program

Georgetown University’s Center for Intercultural Education and
Development is pleased to announce that the English Language (EL)
Fellow Program is currently accepting applications for the Academic
Year 2009-2010 Fellowships.  The English Language (EL) Fellow Program
fosters mutual understanding between the people of the United States
and those of other countries by sending talented, highly qualified
U.S. educators in the field of Teaching English to Speakers of Other
Languages (TESOL) on ten-month fellowships to overseas academic
institutions in all regions of the world. The program promotes English
language learning and enhances English teaching capacity abroad.
Through U.S. embassy projects, Fellows share their expertise, hone
their skills, gain international experience, and learn other cultures.
Upon returning to the United States, they share their experiences and
acquired knowledge with their communities and professional colleagues.
