Grant Description

The Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi, Georgia, is pleased to announce an open competition for an assistance award through this Request for Proposals (RFP) for an рIntensive Summer Training of Trainers for English Language Teachers and Summer Camp for Studentsс Program. PAS invites U.S. and Georgian non-profit/non-governmental organizations and educational institutions to submit proposals for a two- year project to provide specialized training for experienced and skilled Georgian teachers of English to enhance their theoretical and practical knowledge, effecting deep understanding of the issues related to the teaching of English as a foreign language. The goal of the program is to enable these teacher trainers to lead their peers in professional development, providing training to Georgian teachers nationwide. PAS Tbilisi will use part of the funds to strengthen the English language skills of Georgian teachers of English by sending them to the U.S. for an intensive summer language course, and the other part of the funds to arrange English camps for Georgian teachers and students of English. Teacher participants will be selected from the English Language through Civic Education (ELCE) program, formerly called CETEL; these teachers are secondary school teachers, many in rural areas with limited exposure to native English language speakers. The Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Embassy will award up to $495,050 to fund activities for the 2012-2013 academic year, with an extension of $544,555 for the 2013-2014 academic year, subject to the availability of funds and at the total discretion of PAS.
