Country Yemen
City Aden/Khormaksar/Abyan/Tor al-Baha
Host Institution University of Aden/AMIDEAST

Project Description

EL Fellow’s teaching duties will include two components: one at the University of Aden and the second at AMIDEAST. At the University of Aden, the EL Fellow will teach EFL classes to first or second year students for 10 hours per week. The EL Fellow will be based at the Aden University Faculty of Education in Khormaksar, where s/he will teach 6 hours per week. Once a week, the EL Fellow will teach for 4 hours at either/both the Abyan Faculty of Education, a 45-minute trip from Khormaksar and/or Tor al-Baha, a 90-minute trip. This distantly-located, rural, peripheral Faculty of Education has never benefited from a native-speaker instructor and this form of sustained outreach will add a new dimension to the instruction there and assure regular and direct USG outreach to populations outside Yemen’s major centers of Sanaa and Aden. Host institution will provide weekly transport to and from the Faculty. At AMIDEAST Aden, the EL Fellow will be tasked with teaching one class (2 hours per day, 5 days per week) of Access students. An important component of the Access program is transmitting cultural information and values to enrolled students.
