English Language Programs

The U.S. Embassy funds and supports a variety of programs to enhance opportunities to learn English.  The funds are made available by the English Language Program of the State Department’s Education and Cultural Bureau. The aim is to support teaching English as a second language in primary and secondary schools, universities, teacher training colleges, and language resource centers.

The Embassy provides guidance on cultural enrichment activities, academic expertise, advisory and consultative assistance, and materials resources.  In addition, the Embassy oversees several exchange programs that bring American academics and specialists to Israel to conduct activities related to training, methodology, curriculum development, needs analysis, textbook development, program evaluation, and English for Specific Purposes (ESP).

If you are a teacher or a principal and would like to receive notifications about current opportunities, please register  for the embassy’s mailing list.
