================================================================  

The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been set 
up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

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.
