“A message ON BEHALF OF Genesis Ingersoll Associate Director English for Heritage Language Speakers Program”

I am writing on behalf of the English for Heritage Language Speakers (EHLS) Program. The EHLS Program is an adult scholarship and professional development opportunity for nonnative speakers of English which may be of interest to your members. To introduce the program to you, the following is a brief description:
The EHLS Program is an intensive, university-based program that enables nonnative speakers of English to develop the advanced level language skills they need to succeed in professional life. The program involves 6 months of full-time study at Georgetown University in Washington, DC, followed by 2 months of part-time study which can be completed remotely. Participants improve their English through study of research and presentation skills, meeting participation and facilitation, and professional writing. The program also provides support for participants who are seeking employment with the federal government. Full scholarships, a living stipend (during the full-time portion of the program), and a relocation reimbursement are available for qualified applicants. For 2011, the program is recruiting native speakers of Arabic, Dari, Hausa, Hindi, Igbo, Mandarin Chinese, Pashto, Persian Farsi, Punjabi, Somali, Swahili, or Urdu. Please visit http://www.cal.org/ehls/ for more information.
