CHINESE EXCHANGE TEACHER APPLICATION

2020 – 2021 Teachers of Critical  Languages Program

2020 – 2021 Teachers of Critical Languages Program Chinese Exchange Teacher Application

Sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) of the U.S. Department of State Implemented by American Councils for International Education in cooperation with Confucius Institute Headquarters in China

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Teachers of Critical Languages Program (TCLP) is sponsored by the United States Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) and implemented by American Councils for International Education. TCLP seeks to increase the study and acquisition of important world languages in U.S. schools. This program enables primary and secondary schools in the U.S. to strengthen their teaching of Arabic and Mandarin by bringing Egyptian, Moroccan and Chinese teachers of English as a Foreign Language to teach Arabic and Chinese language and culture for an academic year. In addition, Arabic and Chinese teachers may learn more about U.S. teaching methodologies, culture, and society, as well as to improve their English language proficiency. The exchange teachers also serve as cultural resources in the host school and community. For more information about the program, please see the official program website at www.tclprogram.org.

PROGRAM ORGANIZATIONS

Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of The U.S. Department of State

The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) of the U.S. Department of State fosters mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries to promote friendly, and peaceful relations, as mandated by the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961.

ECA accomplishes its mission through a range of programs based on the benefits of mutual understanding, international educational and cultural exchange, and leadership development. ECA engages youth, students, educators, artists, athletes, and rising leaders in many fields in the United States and more than 160 countries through academic, cultural, sports, and professional exchanges. Striving to reflect the diversity of the United States and global society, ECA programs, funding, and other activities encourage the involvement of American and international participants from traditionally underrepresented groups, including women, racial and ethnic minorities, and people with disabilities.

ECA exchange program alumni encompass over one million people around the world, including more than 75 Nobel Laureates and nearly 450 current and former heads of state and government.
