Deadline:  August 1, 2008
Grant Activity: Teach TEFL methodology courses and seminars to faculty members. Assist with staff and teacher training. Assist in the development of B.A. and M.A. programs at public universities.

Additional Qualifications: M.A. or Ph.D. in TEFL/TESOL or applied linguistics and a minimum of 3 years of experience in teacher training.

Length of Grant: 3 months to 9 months
Starting Date: August/September 2009 or January/February 2010 for one-semester grants; August-September 2009 for academic-year grants
Comments: Mexico offers many opportunities to senior-level TEFL specialists in improving the teaching of English at all levels of the educational system and in strengthening or creating programs at the B.A. and M.A. levels to train future teachers, particularly at public universities located outside the major metropolitan areas. Full academic-year grants are preferred. Start dates must correspond with the academic calendar of the host institution. COMEXUS will arrange affiliations in consultation with grantees. As this award supports faculty and program development, not the teaching of English students, applicants should have teacher training and curriculum development experience. The ability to work in a consulting capacity, administrative experience and flexibility would also be assets.
