ESL Jobs World : Dear Colleague,

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 2008-2009 Fellowships. 
 
We invite you to share the information about this unique opportunity for TESOL professionals with your colleagues, students or other interested parties. Please feel free to explore the Program’s website and e-mail us with any questions you might have.
 
Below you will find a brief overview of the English Language (EL) Fellow Program.  For more information and application, please visit our website at http://elf.georgetown.edu. 
 
Program Background  
   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.

Fellowship Description
   Fellows serve as full-time ESL/EFL instructors and may be engaged in some teacher training, ESP instruction, curriculum/materials development, test design, assessment, evaluation, programming, summer camps, and outreach projects.
