Alberta Education—Language Teacher Bursary Program
Sponsored by: As part of Alberta's Languages Initiative, an endowment was created to support the Government's Economic Development Strategy.
Purpose: This program was established so teachers may improve their language fluency, pedagogical skills and knowledge through an educational immersion experience, and to help Alberta jurisdictions enhance their current language teaching capacity. The program will assist certificated Alberta teachers to take a summer post-secondary program in a language other than English or language pedagogy course at an institution outside of Canada. Teachers of Aboriginal languages, whose language of study is only available in Canada, are eligible.
Students will benefit from the enhanced pedagogical and language skills of their teachers, encouraging them to take up the challenge of learning a new language making them more globally competitive.
Post-secondary students in a recognized teacher preparation program in Alberta should contact Alberta Scholarship Programs about the Languages in Teacher Education Scholarship.
Value: Approximately ten bursaries of $5,000 each for study outside of Canada, and two bursaries of $2,500 for Aboriginal language study in Canada.
