About this program
The Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs no longer actively funds the Exchange English Language Specialist/Speaker Program (CFDA 19.423), with the most recent grant award disbursed on September 7, 2010—over 16 years ago. The program supported short-term projects (up to 6 weeks) to improve English language teaching globally, including curriculum evaluation and development, teacher training seminars, textbook development, program evaluation, and English for Specific Purposes initiatives aligned with U.S. Embassy mission goals.
The portfolio shows minimal recent activity. Eleven grants were awarded across a four-year window from 2007 through 2010, with funding intensity peaked in 2009 and 2010 (4 and 5 awards respectively). The Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs was the sole funder, obligating $321 thousand total federal dollars across the portfolio. All awards were Project Grants.
Award magnitudes varied significantly. A 2007 English teaching program at an Islamic boarding school in Indonesia received $200 thousand, the largest award in the set. A 2008 supplemental teacher training component for the English Access Micro-Scholarship Program in Jordan was funded at $60,329. Recent awards in 2009 and 2010 typically fell in the low thousands or hundreds: a 2010 mental health workshop in Hanoi received $1,910; a reproductive health workshop received $2,252; a teaching training program in Colombia received $2,000. Several 2009–2010 awards fell below $1,000—a workshop organization at $618, a young learners training workshop at $230, and a speaker event hall rental at $100.
No recent grant opportunities are open under this program. The absence of awards since 2010 and lack of posted solicitations indicate the program is dormant. Pursuing funding under this Assistance Listing is not advisable.
