Project Description
The EL Fellow will be posted at the Technologic University Ismail Qemali. S/he will teach lecture courses on American Civilization and American History. The two Albanian Faculty assistants will continue attending the lectures and working with the EL Fellow to revise the courses based on student feedback. They will also run a discussion seminar in collaboration with the EL Fellow. By the end of the Fellowship, the two local faculty members will have been prepared to teach these courses in a manner that reflects an American approach to teaching and learning. The EL Fellow will work with various committees involved in drafting curricula and program plans for the new graduate programs. The addition of American perspectives on these courses could prove critical in the faculty’s attempt to develop practical, relevant programs based on the latest approaches to professional teacher education and development. In addition, the EL Fellow will work at American Corner in Vlora, providing courses and workshops on Internet use, TOEFL classes, educational advising, and other special programs linked to the thematic monthly events. Albania has a Peace Corps program and is increasing the number of volunteers teaching English based on the country needs.
