Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs English Language Programs AbroadThe Department of State's Office of English Language Programs and U.S. Embassies work with three types of English language programs outside of the United States: Binational Centers, U.S. Embassy English Teaching Programs, and U.S. Embassy Affiliated English Teaching Programs. The Office of English Language Programs does not engage in the recruitment or hire of English language teachers for any of these programs. If you are interested in teaching in one of these programs (which usually hire teachers who are already in country, pay local wages and benefits, and typically provide no international travel or medical benefits), send your inquiries directly to a specific program. Sometimes the Office of English Language Programs will assist with the
selection of a Director for a U.S. Embassy English Teaching Program or
for a Binational Center. When these Director positions are open, they
are advertised on our Online Jobs
Information page. I. Binational CentersBinational Centers are autonomous, foreign institutions dedicated to the promotion of mutual understanding between the host country and the United States. English teaching is usually a major component of their cultural, educational, and information activities. Binational Centers often work in close cooperation with American Embassies overseas but are independent in their financial and administrative management.
