The International Narcotics and Law (INL) Fellow Program promotes English language learning around the world and fosters mutual understanding between the people of the United States and those of other countries. With a special focus on training law enforcement officers, the INL Fellow Program places talented, highly qualified U.S. educators with Master’s degrees with a focus in TEFL/TESL or Applied Linguistics throughout the international community.
The INL Fellow Program aims to increase the level of English-language knowledge within law enforcement agencies worldwide. Fellows train local English language instructors in updated teaching methodology, particularly emphasizing the use of technology within language instruction. Equipped with improved English-language knowledge, agencies can cooperate more effectively with United States law enforcement organizations and adopt the best of international standards and practices.
