You are reminded that the Notice Inviting Applications for New Awards for FY
2008 published in the Federal Register is the official document, and that you
should not rely upon any information that is inconsistent with the information
contained within the official document.
For important guidance on preparing your application and additional information
on FLAP go to http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/oela/OELAprograms/4_FLAP.htm
The Foreign Language Assistance Program (FLAP) provides grants to local
educational agencies (LEAs) for innovative model programs providing for the
establishment, improvement, or expansion of foreign language study for
elementary and secondary school students. Under this competition, as
required by the fiscal year 2008 Appropriations Act, 5-year grants will be
awarded to LEAs to work in partnership with one or more institutions of higher
education (IHEs) to establish or expand articulated programs of study in
languages critical to United States national security in order to enable
successful students to achieve a superior level of proficiency in those
languages as they advance from elementary school through high school and
college. In addition, an LEA that receives a grant under this program must use
the funds to support programs that show the promise of being continued
beyond the grant period and demonstrate approaches that can be
disseminated to and duplicated in other LEAs. Projects supported under this
program may also include a professional development component.
This notice involves an absolute priority and four competitive preference
priorities.
Absolute Priority: Sequential Study of Critical Languages
Competitive Preference Priorities:
* Projects that include intensive summer foreign language programs for
professional development.
* Projects that link non-native English speakers in the community with the
schools in order to promote two-way language learning.
* Projects that make effective use of technology, such as computer-assisted
instruction, language laboratories, or distance learning, to promote foreign
language study.
* Projects that promote innovative activities, such as foreign language
immersion, partial foreign language immersion, or content-based instruction.
Applications Available: March 27, 2008
Deadline for Notice of Intent to Apply: April 11, 2008
Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: April 30, 2008
