North Georgia College & State University (NGCSU) is seeking applications for instructor positions to teach English as a Second Language abroad this summer.
Twenty countries in Africa, the Mid-East, Eastern Europe, and Asia are requesting English language instructors for military cadets aged approximately 18-22 year old. Instructors will lead a three-person team of two ROTC cadets and one instructor and will teach English as a Second Language to military personnel in the host countries.
Each position requires two days of cultural and language instructional training in Georgia (April 13-14), as well as five days prior to departure and two post days upon return at Fort Knox in Kentucky. Additionally, there will be a required After Action Review (AAR) session lasting two days in the Fall.

This looks great. I can’t apply this year but I hope this is an ongoing program for next year and the following years. I’d love to see the homeland of the wonderful Cesaria Evora.
I have applied for this wonderful opportunity and hope I am chosen! This program has sparked my interest in making ESOL instruction in other countries a more permanent option.
This would have been a great opportunity for me, a teacher of languages. Unfortunately, I came across it after the deadline.
Hopefully, it is an on going program. I really would like to participate.
