Executive Summary: The Office of

for the Chilean English as a Foreign
Language (EFL) Student Teacher
Program. Accredited, U.S. postsecondary educational institutions
meeting the provisions described in
Internal Revenue Code section 26 U.S.C.
501(c)(3) may submit proposals to
administer this semester-long program
for Chilean pre-service teachers. Postsecondary educational institutions may
apply independently or in a consortium
with other post-secondary institutions.
The program will include academic
coursework and practicum/student

teachers in their penultimate year of
undergraduate study. ECA plans to
award two grants for the administration
of this program under which a total of
approximately thirty EFL student
teachers will be placed in two groups at
two different U.S. universities. The
program will take place during the fall
semester of 2008 and will, in addition
to teaching participants about studentcentered methodology, give them an indepth experience of U.S. life and culture
and contribute to mutual understanding
between Chile and the United States.

The program should include both a
theoretical component, provided
through courses and professional
development seminars in an academic
setting, and a practical component,
provided through practice teaching
under the guidance of experienced
mentor teachers in local school districts.
Interested post-secondary educational
institutions should indicate strong
contacts with local U.S. school districts
in order to provide the practical
student-teaching component, as well as
a demonstrated ability to conduct a
substantive academic program. Host
schools for student teaching may be
public, magnet or charter schools, and
should exemplify best practices. The
total funding available for program and
administrative purposes is anticipated
to be approximately $450,000, and will
be awarded in two separate grants of
$225,000. This exchange program will
be funded in FY–2008 pending the
availability of funds.
I. Funding Opportunity Description
Authority
Overall grant making authority for
this program is contained in the Mutual
Educational and Cultural Exchange Act
of 1961, Public Law 87–256, as
amended, also known as the FulbrightHays Act. The purpose of the Act is ‘‘to
enable the Government of the United
States to increase mutual understanding
between the people of the United States
and the people of other countries * * *;
to strengthen the ties which unite us
with other nations by demonstrating the
educational and cultural interests,
developments, and achievements of the
people of the United States and other
nations * * * and thus to assist in the
development of friendly, sympathetic
and peaceful relations between the
United States and the other countries of
the world.’’ The funding authority for
the program above is provided through
legislation.
Purpose
The Chilean EFL Student Teacher
Program is designed to assist Chile in its
goal of becoming a bilingual society.
The people of the United States and
Chile enjoy a particularly close
relationship, nurtured by longstanding
and strong cultural, diplomatic and
commercial ties. As leading members of
the Organization of American States
(OAS) and the Asian-Pacific Economic
Cooperation (APEC) inter-governmental
forum, the governments of the U.S. and
Chile share a common commitment to
democracy and sustainable economic
growth, and work together to the mutual
benefit of their citizens and neighbors.
