English Language Programs includes 3 programs: the Fellow Program, the Specialist Program, and the new Virtual Educator Program. The Fellow Program has been sending TESOL professionals abroad for over 50 years and the Specialist program began over 30 years ago, and now has both in-country and virtual projects.

The Virtual Educator program is our brand new program! With a pause on in-country projects in 2020, the Fellow Program began offering virtual assignments. This initiative was so successful that it has now become a permanent program - the English Language Virtual Educator Program.

Altogether, there are about 3,000 English Language Programs alumni - and by the end of the current academic year - approximately 400 additional participants will complete their projects and become alumni.

All Fellows, Specialists, and Virtual Educators are U.S. citizens, have a graduate degree in TESOL or a related field, and are dedicated professionals in EFL/ESL.
