Regional English Language Officers
English Language Officers (RELOs) organize and participate in teacher training seminars and workshops, advise posts on questions pertaining to English teaching, conduct needs assessments, and offer guidance on all aspects of an academic program. RELOs consult with host-country ministry, university, and teacher-training officials, as well as lecture and present workshops on EFL methodology and practices. RELOs also work closely with English Language Specialists, English Language Fellows, and U.S. Embassy-related English Language Programs (Binational Centers, and U.S. Embassy English Teaching Programs).
