Project Description

Siberia is a vast region with many remote locations that need current information about methods of teaching English as a foreign language and American studies content, to enable the business community and youth to upgrade English language skills. From this hub of Siberia, the EL Fellow will travel extensively throughout a vast area that is home to over 110 higher education institutions (there are 40 universities in Novosibirsk alone). The EL Fellow will also work in Akademgorodok, which is a sputnik city of Novosibirsk and is a pilot site for silicon valley-style technology and research centers. Assignment of an EL Fellow to the Novosibirsk Technical University and the Ministry of Education training center will assist in the professional development of hundreds of teachers in this large region, including outreach to teachers from remote areas who have limited access to accurate and up-to-date information about American life and institutions. It will also provide post with an excellent opportunity for development of relations with leading educational establishments in the region and the Ministry of Education. The EL Fellow will also support the American centers and corners in this vast region, as well as be a link between post and the Russian educational community.
