Model Programs for the Critical Languages

[David Burrous]

Dear Seelangers:  Would you please bring this message to the attention of
anyone you know who is teaching or would like to teach Russian in
elementary and/or secondary schools?  Thanks.

Dear Colleagues:  Last year I received a grant in the amount of $45.000.00
(dollars, not rubles) to support my model Russian program at 6 elementary,
1 middle and 1 high school.  I encourage you to apply also:

Funding for the 1995-96 year for the Model Programs for the Critical
Languages, (Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and Korean) mini grants for
the Foreign Language Assistance Program (FLAP) has been appropriated by
congress.  However, the Foreign Language Assistance Program has been turned
over to a different agency of the USDOE - OBEMLA (Office of Bilingual
Education and Minority Languages Affairs).

Now each recipient (school/school district) will have to prepare a grant
proposal and compete directly for funding through the OBEMLA Agency itself.


1.  The program will favor elementary level initiatives (1-8  grade students);
2.  any foreign language proposal must provide for at least 4 school
periods of
                        instruction per week;
3.  the dedline for submission of grant proposals is May 26, 1995.

Application forms are available from:

        US Department of Education
        600 Independence Ave. S.W.
        OBEMLA/MES Bldg.Rm 5607
