| Title | Opportunity to Host Chinese or Arabic Language Instructors |
| Body | *Hosting Chinese/Arabic Teachers* *Opportunity for U.S. Schools-Teachers of Critical Languages Program* The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the United States Department of State announced the Teachers of Critical Languages Program, an international educational exchange program under the new National Security Language Initiative. This program seeks to strengthen the teaching of Chinese and Arabic at U.S. schools, while also providing the international teachers the opportunity to learn about U.S. teaching methodologies, culture and society. For the 2006-2007 academic year, U.S.primary or secondary schools may apply for the opportunity to host a teacher from China or Jordan to teach Mandarin Chinese or Arabic, respectively, and also to serve as cultural resources in the school and community. The Department of State will provide J-1 visa sponsorship, airfare, accident and illness insurance, and a living allowance for the teacher. U.S. schools must provide a mentor teacher and must demonstrate a plan for how both the U.S. school and the international teacher will benefit from the program. The deadline for applications is Wednesday, May 31, 2006. For more information about hosting an exchange teacher, or to request an application, e-mail tclp@state.gov . Fortune, T.
