Funding Opportunity Description:--Purpose:
The goals of the Turkey-Armenia Summer Teaching Institute Project are to:
1) Explore current approaches to English Language Teaching, especially in terms of how these approaches can be used to foster critical thinking skills and build tolerance among students and educators; 2) Examine the role of language in the formation of individual identity and the potential for English to serve as a “neutral space” for solving inter-ethnic tensions and promoting intercultural harmony; 3) Provide opportunities for Turkish and Armenian participants to learn about each other’s cultures, values, perceptions, and aspirations for the future; 4) Foster trust and collaboration among participants that leads to the establishment of long-term links between Turkish and Armenian educators; 5) Prepare participants with new skills and tools to implement cross-border projects upon return to their home communities and schools.
A successful project will be one that motivates educators to actively incorporate critical thinking, tolerance building, and online social networking tools into their English curricula as a means to address issues of mutual concern to Turks and Armenians.
Participants will be engaged in a variety of activities such as workshops, seminars, simulations, collaborative lesson-planning activities, and cultural enhancement activities that are designed to achieve the program’s stated goals.
Regular opportunities for participants to interact with each other, share perceptions and ideas, learn about each other’s cultures and find areas of mutual concern which they can address together and then continue to work on after returning to their home communities should be included.
The applicant should present a program plan that allows the participants to thoroughly explore how current approaches to English Language Teaching can be used to promote the development of critical thinking skills and inter-cultural tolerance.

Embassies in Ankara and Yerevan are the official program sponsors of the exchange program covered by this RFGP, and an employee of the Embassy will be the "Responsible Officer" for the program under the terms of 22 CFR 62, which covers the administration of the Exchange Visitor Program (J visa program).
Under the terms of 22 CFR 62, organizations receiving grants under this RFGP will be third parties "cooperating with or assisting the sponsor in the conduct of the sponsor's program." The actions of grantee program organizations shall be "imputed to the sponsor in evaluating the sponsor's compliance with" 22 CFR 6 2. Therefore, the Department of State expects that any organization receiving a grant under this competition will render all assistance necessary to enable the Embassy to fully comply with 22 CFR 62 et seq.
The Public Affairs Sections of the U. S. Embassies in Ankara and Yerevan place critically importance on the secure and proper administration of Exchange Visitor (J visa) Programs and adherence by grantee program organizations and program participants to all regulations governing the J visa program status.
Therefore, proposals should explicitly state in writing that the applicant is prepared to assist the Embassies in meeting all requirements governing the administration of Exchange Visitor Programs as set forth in 22 CFR 6 2. If your organization has experience as a designated Exchange Visitor Program Sponsor, the applicant should discuss their record of compliance with 22 CFR 62 et.
