Regional English Language Office, Beijing

English Language Fellow Program

The Office of English Language Programs in Washington, DC in coordination with Georgetown University recruits the Fellows for the worldwide program.  Upon approval, the candidate will be given a Fellowship to work at the host institution for 10 months.  The Office of English Language Programs will provide the Fellows with roundtrip air fare, a stipend (salary), health insurance, and a small book allowance.

The host institutions are asked to provide, either in kind or in money, adequate lodging, local transportation to and from the office, office space with a computer and Internet connection.  If the Fellow is expected to travel outside the institution to assist with an institution program, the institution will provide the transportation.
