Implementation of the C5 + Opening Networks Through English Educators Workshop

The U.S. Department of State’s Embassy in the Kyrgyz Republic announces an open competition to design and implement a program to prepare at least 200 early-career English-language teachers from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan (the C5) to teach quality English language programming for adult and youth audiences, including C5 + Opening Networks through English (C5 + O.N.E.)  and other Department of State (DoS)-sponsored English programs.  The C5 + Opening Networks Through English Educator Workshop (C5 + O.N.E Ed) will bring together participants for a one-month, in-person intensive training conducted in English on best practices in English-language teaching and the curriculum and structure of C5 + O.N.E and other DOS English programs.  The implementing partner will handle all administrative aspects of the program with input on content and participant selection from the Embassy, Regional English Language Officer, and current C5 + O.N.E. implementer.

Program Goal

Improve the quality of English language instruction for diverse audiences across Central Asia by expanding the pool of qualified and motivated early-career C5 teachers.
