Subject:ACIE programs for Arabic
Dear Colleagues,
My name is Zara Hovhannisyan and I work for American Councils for International Education in Washington DC. Your contact information was given to me by Maggie Nassif from National Middle East Language Resource Center (NMELRC) of Brigham Young University. We implement two fully-funded programs for schools and teachers of Arabic that I believe might be of interest to you and to your colleagues. I appreciate your assistance distributing these announcements though your list-serves to anyone who you think is interested and I am happy to answer any questions you have about these programs. My contact information can be found at the bottom of this email.
The deadline for the Teachers of Critical Languages Program is January 9 (about one month away) so we hope that this announcement can be sent out to your memberships for them to be able to apply to the program.
Thank you in advance for your collaboration!

HOST A GUEST TEACHER FROM CHINA OR EGYPT
The Teachers of Critical Languages Program (TCLP) places EFL teachers from China and Egypt in U.S. K-12 host schools for an academic year where they teach Mandarin or Arabic language and culture. TCLP provides teachers’ salaries, healthcare, roundtrip airfare, training, professional development funds, and ongoing program support.
To increase the number of Americans teaching and learning these critical languages, selected host schools also receive access to grant opportunities to support language learning projects. For more information, please visit <a href="http://www.tclprogram.org">www.tclprogram.org</a> or email <a href="mailto:tclp@americancouncils.org">tclp@americancouncils.org</a>.
Program Application Deadline: January 9, 2012
STUDY LANGUAGE IN EGYPT AND CHINA
Intensive Summer Language Institutes (ISLI) provides fellowships for U.S. classroom teachers to spend six weeks overseas studying intermediate and advanced-level Arabic in Alexandria, Egypt, and Chinese in Changchun, China. Current K-12 teachers, community college instructors of Arabic and Mandarin Chinese, and students enrolled in education programs who intend to teach these languages can apply. Participants earn ten hours of graduate credit through Bryn Mawr College, and are provided with peer tutors and roundtrip airfare. All travel and study-related costs are fully covered. For more information, please visit <a href="http://www.americancouncils.org/isli">www.americancouncils.org/isli</a> or email <a href="mailto:isli@americancouncils.org">isli@americancouncils.org</a>.
