APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION TO THE
HUBERT H. HUMPHREY FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM- 2014-2015
FOR MID-CAREER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE UNITED STATES
Program Information and Application Guidelines
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Humphrey Fellowship Program provides mid career professionals from designated
countries around the world with an opportunity to enhance their professional capabilities through participation in
specialized, 10 month, and non degree programs developed specifically for small clusters of Humphrey Fellows atselected U.S. universities. The Humphrey Program was initiated in 1978 to honor the memory and accomplishments of
the late Senator and Vice President, Hubert H. Humphrey. Fellows are selected based on their potential for national
leadership and commitment to public service, in either the public or private sector. The program provides a basis for
establishing long lasting productive partnerships and relationships between citizens of the United States and their
professional counterparts in other countries, fostering an exchange of knowledge and mutual understanding throughout
the world.
Funding for the Humphrey Program is provided by the U.S. Government through the United States Department of State
and other co sponsors. The Institute of International Education (IIE) collaborates with the State Department's Bureau of
Educational and Cultural Affairs in administering the program. The types of university programs arranged for Humphrey
Fellows depart from a traditional discipline oriented focus and have a problem solving and experience sharing emphasis.
The programs are not degree related or aimed at providing scholarly preparation or basic training in a field. Theobjective is to provide Humphrey Fellows with an overall experience that broadens their perspectives, enhances their
capability to assume greater career responsibilities, and provides opportunities to establish useful professional contacts.
To accomplish these objectives, programs are designed to include various combinations of course work, independent
projects, internships, consultations with U.S. faculty or experts, field trips, and special seminars. Under the guidance of a
designated faculty advisor or coordinator, Fellows plan programs that best suit their individual career development
needs.
DURATION OF GRANT: The program arranged for Humphrey Fellows extends from August or early September to the
following June. Applicants who need additional English training may be required to arrive in the United States as early as
April for intensive language study before beginning their regular university program. Candidates must be able to
participate in the full period of the English and/or university programs.
NONDEGREE STATUS: The program designed for Humphrey Fellows does not result in the awarding of a degree.
While Fellows are able to enroll in courses relevant to their professional interests, the Humphrey Program is not
appropriate for those who wish to concentrate on academic work required for a U.S. degree. Humphrey Fellows
spend a considerable portion of their time engaged in off-campus activities such as internships, field trips,
workshops, and special projects that give them practical experience in their professional fields. Fellows who
successfully complete the program are awarded a Certificate of Participation.
FINANCIAL PROVISIONS: The Humphrey Fellowship provides a monthly maintenance allowance, a book and supplies
allowance, tuition and fees when applicable, round-trip international travel to the host institution (and to the
Fellows English-language training program when applicable) and domestic travel to Washington, D.C. for a special
seminar. Supplementary funds are provided for professional activities such as field trips or attendance atconferences. Humphrey Fellowships are not renewable.
Humphrey Fellows should plan to bring with them some personal funds to cover incidental expenses not covered in the
grant. Humphrey Fellowships do not include funds for dependents (family members). Humphrey Fellows are
responsible for providing travel, insurance, and financial support for any dependents accompanying them in the United
States. Please note that English and orientation centers cannot accommodate dependents. Therefore, dependents should
not arrive in the United States until the Fellows are settled in their academic year programs and have secured housing

(at least 30 days after the Fellows arrival) at the host campus.
PROGRAM FIELDS: The programs arranged for Humphrey Fellows are related to one of the following fields:
agricultural and rural development; communications/journalism; economic development; finance and banking;
educational administration, planning and policy; HIV/AIDS policy and prevention; human resource management; law
and human rights; natural resources, environmental policy, and climate change; public health policy and
management; public policy analysis and public administration; substance abuse education, treatment and
prevention; teaching of English as a foreign language (curricular development / teacher training); technology policy
and management; trafficking in persons, policy and prevention; urban and regional planning; higher education
administration. The university programs do not address themselves to the scientific or technical aspects of these
fields, but rather to broad policy-making and problem-solving issues.
PLACEMENT IN UNIVERSITY PROGRAMS: Candidates who are selected for fellowships are placed in clusters by field
of interest at U.S. universities specially designated to host a group of Humphrey Fellows. IIE, therefore, is not able to
make placements at specific universities requested by candidates, or to award fellowships enabling candidates to
attend a U.S. university on the basis that they have already been admitted. Candidates should not apply directly to
U.S. institutions.

Program Plan20. Please describe your major area of interest and explain how this area addresses the specific development needs of yourcountry. Please limit your response to 200-250 words.
I would like to learn about more teaching techniques and new methodology to teach effectively.I am worried about the two skills where we have some challenges in our community; I mean listening and
speaking skills. Obviously, they are so important for communication but we need to help students todevelop those skills for that reason (communication), it is just not about teaching and learning grammar.Challenges in those skills are so evident. It is right that living in a country where students are involved withpeople that speak their mother tongue, which means, when they are out classroom they listen and speak justSpanish that does not help them. The reality in the city of Esmeraldas is different from Guayaquil, Quitoand Cuenca that are considered big cities. Most of the students do not have the opportunity to keep in touchwith native speakers so they cannot to practice a lot what they learn in the classroom and apply it for realsituations and I am sure there are solutions for those problems.
Also, some teachers do not use updated methodology and according students needs and interests in orderto help them to love English, I would like to know effective, interesting and innovative methodology forhelping student to develop and improve listening and speaking skills.

22. Describe how the knowledge and skills you will gain will help you address your country's development needs. Please limityour response to 200-250 words.
By planning and developing workshops teachers will learn updated methodology and different ways ofencouraging students to learn English and also how to plan correctly. They will be practice in real situationsnot just in the seminar and they will be trained frequently to know how applying what they have learnt have
help their students.Creating English club for teacher will help them to speak English because that is another problem, someteachers teach English but they do not speak it.

After that, throughout meetingsand conversations with my helpers that are my friends, we made a schedule to train all the teenagers
leaders from different sector, where they give us written and speech reports about the organization in eachsector is working, their needs and they share with us how we can help them. Also, according therequirements they are trained in order to improve their teaching way and thinking about people they areteaching and working with.
In order to help teenagers to do good and edifying activities, it was organized the boy scouts program not asthe common program , teenagers are taught about survival activities but also about values they need toapply in life.
Nowadays, the organization is much better and people who are involved are motivating even the challengesthey have in order to give a good service to them.
