The Teachers of Critical Languages Program (TCLP)

TCLP is designed to increase the study and acquisition of important world languages in U.S. schools. This program enables primary and secondary schools to strengthen their teaching of Mandarin and Arabic by bringing Chinese, Egyptian, and Moroccan teachers to the U.S. to teach their native languages and culture for an academic year. Participants in this exchange program receive training and practice in learner-centered methodologies, as well as strategies to understand and thrive within the American educational system as foreign language teachers in U.S. classrooms.
