The English Language Fellow Program is an exceptional opportunity to bring professional American English Language Teachers directly to your school, institute or university.  The program places these highly qualified American ELT professionals throughout the Russian Federation for one to two academic years. Fellows work with you, their hosts, as well as with the local and regional ELT community, creating professional development opportunities and supporting collaboration between teachers’ associations, local ministry of education offices and teachers at all levels.

For the Guidelines regarding ELF visits, please see "Весь текст" below.  For more detailed and specific information on how to invite Fellows and for the English-Language Fellow (ELF) Visit Request Form, please see the English-Language Office website at: http://moscow.usembassy.gov/elo-elfguidelines.html 

We also encourage you to take a look at a list of suggestions on how to make the best of having a visiting Fellow.  This list of steps outlines how to prepare for a visit and what to do once the Fellow arrives. It was presented at our extremely successful Umbrella conference in Ryazan recently.
