The American Language II: Connecting English Teachers to U.S. History and Culture

Cleveland will host four English teachers from Egypt, Georgia, Kosovo, and Ukraine to enhance their understanding of American culture and history, and to showcase the variation and distribution of the U.S. English language. The program will also connect them with educational policy makers at the national, state, and local levels, as well as with language teachers and students in K-12 classroom settings so that they can discuss and exchange pedagogy techniques.

International Visitor Leadership (IVLP) Program

Each year, over 250 professionals from around the world visit Northeast Ohio through IVLP. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, these visitors have been identified by U.S. embassies as emerging leaders in their fields.  Over 50 Nobel Laureates and 335 current or former Chiefs of State or Heads of Government are alumni of this program. 

By connecting with foreign leaders we strengthen Northeast Ohio’s commercial, cultural and educational ties with the rest of the world.
