Opportunity Information: Apply for DOSRUS22CA002
The Department of State, through the U.S. Embassy's Regional English Language Office in Tallinn (RELO Tallinn) and the Public Affairs Section in Moscow (PAS Moscow), offered a cooperative agreement to run FY22 English Language Immersion Camps for Russian university students. The core purpose of the program was to create intensive, short-term English immersion experiences that help participants use English in real contexts, build cross-cultural competence, and strengthen speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. A key feature is that learning is meant to happen throughout the day in a fully immersive environment, not only during formal class time.
The camps were expected to be retreat-like and last two weeks, with structured programming from breakfast through evening activities. The design emphasizes continuous, authentic language use by having students interact with peers, counselors, and teachers across both classroom and informal settings. The program is intended for highly motivated university students who want rapid improvement through intensive instruction and small group formats. Applicants were expected to accommodate multiple proficiency levels, either by offering different levels within a single camp session or by organizing separate cohorts.
A notable priority within the participant mix is support for future English language teachers currently enrolled in university programs. The grant envisioned at least one group dedicated to these pre-service teachers, giving them advanced language practice along with cultural and methodological exposure that could improve their future teaching. To make sure students are placed appropriately, the implementer was expected to include a placement testing component as part of recruitment, selection, and group assignment.
On the instructional side, the recipient was expected to design an experiential curriculum that maximizes opportunities for real communication and provides deliberate cross-cultural learning about the United States. Beyond language mechanics, the curriculum was meant to incorporate modern teaching methodologies and balance classroom instruction with activity-based learning outside the classroom, reinforcing English use through projects, discussions, collaborative tasks, and community-style camp activities.
Recruitment and access were also central to the opportunity. Students were to be recruited from geographically diverse regions of Russia, with an emphasis on expanding participation beyond major centers and reaching areas with fewer English-learning opportunities. To support this, camps could be held in regional hubs within Russia to reduce barriers to participation and broaden the program's reach.
The implementing organization was required to include a clear marketing and outreach plan covering recruitment, selection, and placement. This included using social media and other distribution channels to publicize the opportunity to Russian universities and students. Throughout planning and implementation, the awardee was expected to coordinate closely with RELO Tallinn and PAS Moscow on participant selection, program content, development, and promotion.
