Academic and cultural exchange for institutions
English language specialist
Specialists are US citizens with at least a master’s degree in TESOL, extensive teaching experience and expertise in specific areas. They work with universities and their projects can be in-person, online or hybrid. Specialists can act as advisors, lead teams in the development of academic projects, provide specialized training in their areas of expertise, and more.
Proposals are received on an ongoing basis and require a lead time of at least 10 weeks before the desired start date for online projects and at least 12 weeks for face-to-face projects. Face-to-face projects can last between a minimum of 2 weeks and a maximum of 3 months. Host organizations are encouraged to contribute to the costs by providing some or all of the following services: local accommodation, meals and transport. Online and hybrid projects are more flexible in terms of time. Online projects do not require cost sharing.
