English Language Fellows and Specialists, co-sponsored through the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, U.S. Embassy Moscow and Russian host institutions, have long been a part of teacher association activities in Russia. The cadre of Senior English Language Fellows in Russia is able to provide input on a wide range of English Language Teaching issues, including current methodology, curriculum development, materials development and assessment issues.

Fellows are associated with a host institution for one to two academic years and conduct programming activities in a large number of cities in their regions. Specialists are invited to Russia for two to three weeks to address specific issues in the field. Recent Specialist tours have focused on Assessment, Teaching English to Teens, and Principles of Student-Centered Instruction. Teachers’ Associations can request the support of an English Language Fellow or Specialist for professional development events, for consultations, or for support of a specific project or program by using the request form below.
