Subject:Host Guest Teacher from Egypt

Dear Arabic-L Members:

Our non-profit organization, American Councils for International Education,
would like to share information about two programs that expose K-12 schools
and students to Arabic and Chinese language and culture. Both programs are
fully funded through the U.S. State Department.

*Host a Guest Teacher from China or Egypt*

The Teachers of Critical Languages Program (TCLP) provides U.S. K-12
schools with the opportunity to host fully funded exchange teachers from
Egypt and China for an entire academic year in order to begin *or* further
grow an Arabic or Mandarin program. Public, private, or religious schools
from all corners of the nation are encouraged to apply. Bring the world to
your school by introducing Arabic or Chinese language and culture to your
students.

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.

To learn more about the program benefits and requirements, please read
about our Program Timeline and
Details<http://www.americancouncils.org/TCLP/Host_Intro.pdf>,
or check out our introduction
video<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzWlGEzYn68>.

To apply, please visit www.tclprogram.org or email tclp at americancouncils.org
.

*Extended Program Application Deadline*: February 1, 2012

*Study Language in China or Egypt*

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 www.americancouncils.org/isli or email
isli at americancouncils.org.

*Program Application Deadline*: March 2, 2012

Alena Palevitz
