Intensive Summer Language Institutes
Announcement Type: New
cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

Key Dates:

Application Deadline: January 5,

Executive Summary: The Office of
Academic Exchange Programs of the
Bureau of Educational and Cultural
Affairs announces an open competition
for projects to provide foreign language
instruction overseas for American
undergraduate and graduate students in
the summer of 2007 in support of the
National Security Language Initiative
(NSLI). Public and private non-profit
organizations, or consortia of such
organizations meeting the provisions
described in Internal Revenue Code
section 26 U.S.C. 501(c)(3), may submit
proposals to implement six-to ten-week
summer institutes overseas for a
minimum total of 365 participants in
countries where Arabic, Chinese,
Korean, Russian and the Indic, Persian,
and Turkic language families are widely
spoken. These summer institutes should
offer U.S. undergraduate and graduate
students structured classroom
instruction and less formal interactive
learning opportunities through a
comprehensive exchange experience
that primarily emphasizes language
learning. Proposals from applicant
organizations should clearly indicate
the building of new, additional
institutional language-teaching capacity
overseas for these summer institutes—
this program is designed to develop
additional language study opportunities
for U.S. students.
I. Funding Opportunity Description
Authority: Overall grant making authority
for this program is contained in the Mutual
Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of
1961, as amended, Public Law 87–256, also
known as the Fulbright-Hays Act. The
purpose of the Act is ‘‘to enable the
Government of the United States to increase
mutual understanding between the people of
the United States and the people of other
countries * * *; to strengthen the ties which
unite us with other nations by demonstrating
the educational and cultural interests,
developments, and achievements of the
people of the United States and other nations
* * * and thus to assist in the development
of friendly, sympathetic, and peaceful
relations between the United States and the
other countries of the world.’’ The funding
authority for the program above is provided
through legislation.
Purpose: The Bureau of Educational
and Cultural Affairs (ECA) is supporting
the participation of American
undergraduate and graduate students in
intensive, substantive foreign language
study to further strengthen national
security and prosperity in the 21st
century as part of the National Security
Language Initiative (NSLI), launched by
President Bush in January 2006.

Foreign language skills are essential to
engaging foreign governments and
peoples, especially in critical world
regions, to promote understanding and
convey respect for other cultures. These
skills are essential to Americans who
will support the nation’s foreign affairs
priorities, its economic competitiveness,
and its educational institutions as they
prepare future citizens for full
engagement in the global environment.
The broad NSLI initiative focuses
resources on improving language
learning for U.S. citizens across the
educational spectrum and emphasizes
the need to achieve mastery of critical
languages; this activity focuses on the
college and university section.
The goals of the Intensive Summer
Language Institutes are:
• To develop a cadre of Americans
with advanced linguistic skills and
related cultural understanding who are
able to advance international dialogue,
promote the security of the United
States, compete effectively in the global
economy, and better serve the needs of
students and academic institutions; and
• To improve the ability of Americans
to engage with the people of other
countries through the shared language
of the partner country.
In order to achieve these goals, the
Bureau supports programs for American
undergraduate and graduate students to
gain and improve language proficiency
in Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Russian and
the Indic, Persian, and Turkic language
families. ECA plans to award a single
grant for the recruitment and
administration of all Intensive Summer
Language Institutes in all world regions.
Organizations with expertise in one or
more of the indicated languages are
encouraged to seek partners in the other
languages to submit a single proposal.
Consortia must designate a lead
institution to receive the grant award.
Applicant organizations may submit
grant proposals requesting funds not
exceeding $6,000,000 to implement
these overseas language institutes
between June and August 2007.
Through these institutes,
undergraduate and graduate students
from the United States will spend six to
ten weeks on a program abroad in the
summer of 2007. Since there is an
emphasis on substantial progress in
foreign language advancement,
applicant organizations need to
concentrate most efforts on language
programs and explain clearly the utility
and advantages of proposing programs
closer to six weeks. The institutes will
provide intensive language instruction
in a classroom setting, and should also
provide language-learning opportunities
through immersion in the cultural,
