“The Endeavour Language Teacher Fellowships (ELTF), a part of the broader Endeavour Awards, provide opportunities for:
- practising language teachers in Australian schools
- trainee (pre-service) language teachers in Australian universities
to improve their language and cultural skills through intensive short-term study programs. The study programs take place over a three-week period in January each year. Programs may be held in Asia, Europe, Latin America or the Middle East. Destinations may vary from year to year subject to identified need and the Australian Government’s international education priorities and taking into account the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and trade’s travel advisories.”
Applications are now open for the 2009 round. For further information on the application process, please visit the DEST website: http://www.endeavour.dest.gov.au/language_teachers_fellowships/.
