Description
The U.S. Department of State announces an open competition to deliver in-person, specialized English language teacher training and direct student instruction aligned with priority sectors such as space, critical minerals, rare earths, energy, high technology, business and trade, agriculture, media, and security. As U.S. engagement with Uzbekistan increases, English proficiency has become a strategic asset — enabling business and trade professionals, government officials, journalists, security personnel, agribusiness practitioners, and technology specialists to engage directly with Americans, access English-language resources, and generate opportunities that advance U.S. commercial and strategic interests.A shortage of highly proficient English teachers in Uzbekistan limits learners' access to functional, sector-specific English instruction. This program addresses that gap by training teachers to deliver specialized language instruction while simultaneously providing direct instruction to students and emerging professionals in key sectors. Program activities will promote enhanced knowledge of American culture and entrepreneurial spirit alongside language gains, equipping participants to more effectively engage with and operate within U.S. professional environments. The bulk of activities will be delivered in person. Funded programs will run for no more than two years and will produce measurable gains in English proficiency across priority professional communities.
