Regional English Language Office
Exchange Programs
The RELO office offers two popular programs that bring Americans to West Africa.
- The English Language Specialist Program provides English language specialists to host countries for a period of 2 to 6 weeks. These specialists work on a variety of projects ranging from in-service teacher training, to curriculum design, to ESP projects.
- The EL Fellow Program provides junior and senior academics to teach such subjects as EFL and ESP at all levels, pre-service teacher education, and other specialized courses as qualified. They work primarily at the institutional level, but can also do some outreach.
The Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs offers exchange programs to the U.S. that are coordinated by U.S. Embassy Public Affairs Sections.
