## What the grant funds

The U.S. Embassy’s Regional English Language Office based in Tallinn (RELO Tallinn) and Public Affairs Section in Moscow (PAS Moscow) of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out the “FY22 English Learning for Russian Speakers: Content Development,” a program to curate content that is tailored for Russian speakers to learn English and about U.S. culture. Content should be developed in a bilingual model using Russian as a basis for providing content accessible and teaching skills for learners of English. Content may include but is not limited to audio content in the form of a podcast and/or video content similar to that used on YouTube or TikTok. Written content such as dialogues, exercises, or teacher guides should also be provided to support and maximize language learning. Thematic content should include elements of U.S. culture and include learnable chunks of language in the form of a dialogue or phrases. In addition to such audio/video content, the developers should create an online website with the content and focusing on ideas for incorporating content into English language teaching classrooms for Russian speakers. Finally, the grant recipient should include a marketing plan for the content, including social media or other means of distributing the content to Russian speakers inside and outside of Russia.
