Summary
Online professional english network (OPEN) online course development and delivery: english for STEM professionals. This project supports the goal and objectives of the OPEN Program to offer English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses for professionals, giving them the opportunity to engage in a distancelearning program using the latest educational technology and providing them with direct access to U.S. ESP experts with whom they would not normally have the opportunity to interact. It also supports the U.S. Department of State’s public diplomacy goals by leveraging America’s unique convening power to bring together strategic partners to advance U.S. interests, embracing educational technology as the method of communication.
