The Center for Applied Linguistics invites applications for the 2001 G.Richard Tucker Fellowship.
From June 2001 through May 2002, including a 4-week residency at CAL in Washington, DC, the Fellow will interact with senior staff members on one of CAL's existing research projects or on a suitable project suggested by the Fellow.
The fellowship pays a stipend plus travel expenses. Priority will be given to proposals that focus on language education and testing or on language issues related to minorities in the United States or Canada.
The competition is open to candidates for a master's or doctoral degree in any field that is concerned with the study of language. Minorities are especially encouraged to apply.
Applicants must be currently enrolled in a degree program in the United States or Canada and must have completed the equivalent of at least 1 year of full-time graduate study. Applications must be received on or before April 20, 2001.

NCLE is pleased to announce that it will now be known as the National Center for ESL Literacy Education. This change in name from Clearinghouse to Center better reflects NCLE's work and the range of services that it provides. These include technical assistance to adult ESL literacy programs; professional development for program staff; the writing and production of books, reports, and papers; and the development of online resource collections on a number of key topics in adult ESL literacy. NCLE will continue to engage in information analysis and synthesis, question answering, and collection of documents related to adult ESL for the ERIC database.
