The U.S. Embassy Dushanbe, Tajikistan announces an open competition opportunity to implement the English Without Borders (EWB) project in Tajikistan. The EWB project has a number of components and objectives highlighted in this funding opportunity to support English teachers through (1) providing professional development and peer- to- peer engagement and networking; (2) equipping secondary school teachers with modern teaching methodologies, and (3) utilizing the newly designed and published English textbooks. The implementer must be a legally recognized non-governmental organization, that meets U.S. and Tajikistan technical and legal requirements to develop and implement Public Diplomacy Programs as specified in Section C. Background: English Without Borders (EWB) is a project funded by the U.S. Embassy in Tajikistan and implemented since 2021, providing support to English teachers across all regions in Tajikistan. The current EWB project will conclude December 2024; this year PDS seeks to consolidate some English Language Programs under one umbrellanamely continuing EWB networking-type activities, but also providing more targeted support for secondary school (high school) English teachers to use modern teaching methods as well as the new English language textbook. EWB unites English language teachers and students at all levels, supporting them through peer-to-peer networking, the development of pedagogical materials, online and in-person training sessions, and train-the-trainer programs. These online and in-person activities develop teachers capacity to employ modern, student-centric methodologies and design supplementary materials. The U.S. Embassy in Dushanbe has an ambitious slate of English language projects, many in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Science. These efforts support Tajikistans strategy on improving English language learning by 2030 and President Rahmons 2024 statement on learning foreign languages, including English. While the number of students interested in learning English is on the rise, the number of teachers qualified and prepared to teach them is not. This is due to the relatively sudden increase in the number of classes offered, the relatively recent emergence of English as a foreign language -- resulting in few professional teachers with a specialization in English -- and an insufficient number of English teachers. U.S. Embassy English language programs range from secondary school teacher training programs and providing English language textbooks to English Access Scholarship programs and supporting universities with English Resource Centers and English Language Fellows. In its new iteration, EWB should continue to complement and expand their collaboration with other PDS-funded projects and their participants. Due to the demand for the U.S. Embassy Dushanbes English language programs, the EWB network should continue to utilize its platforms to reach teachers across the country. EWB should continue to expand its partnership with other governmental, non-governmental, private, and international organizations to support a sustainable network for English teachers and students and provide access to learning resources, including collaboration with TESOL International Association, the English-Speaking Nation Project in Uzbekistan, and English Teachers Associations in Dushanbe and across Central Asia. The expected date range for implementation of project is December 1, 2024, to December 1, 2026. Please follow the instructions below for the application.
