PROGRAM DESCRIPTION 1. Project Background, Goals, and Objectives The Dominican Republic continues to expand its participation in strategic productive sectors linked to U.S. investment, mining, and advanced manufacturing. However, limited English-language proficiency among technical professionals and faculty remains a significant barrier to deeper collaboration with U.S. companies, universities, and research institutions. EnglishxSTEM addresses this challenge by supporting the development and implementation of high-impact English for Specific Purposes (ESP) programs tailored to priority industries and aligned with U.S. technical terminology, workplace standards, safety protocols, and communication practices. The initiative builds on previous Embassy-supported English language and workforce development programming, as well as ongoing partnerships with Dominican institutions such as INFOTEP, ITLA, universities, AIRD, CONEP, and the National English Working Group. The program will leverage U.S. expertise in English language teaching and technical education to strengthen institutional partnerships and expand professional opportunities for Dominican participants. EnglishxSTEM builds on the Embassy-supported Open Learning Program (2022–2024), which successfully expanded access to practical English instruction across the Dominican Republic through specialized courses, webinars, hybrid learning, and workforce-focused programming. Previous initiatives demonstrated strong demand for sector-specific English training, particularly in tourism, healthcare, and professional development, while also highlighting the importance of interactive learning, oral communication, and flexible virtual delivery models. EnglishxSTEM expands these efforts by introducing advanced English for Specific Purposes (ESP) programming tailored to strategically important sectors such as semiconductors, AI, cybersecurity, biotechnology, energy, and research, directly supporting U.S.-Dominican economic collaboration, workforce development, and nearshoring priorities. Through this NOFO, the Public Diplomacy Section seeks to expand high-quality English for Specific Purposes (ESP) programming that strengthens Dominican collaboration with U.S. companies, universities, and research institutions in strategic sectors. Building on lessons learned from the Embassy-supported Open Learning Program, EnglishxSTEM incorporates proven practices such as hybrid delivery, interactive instruction, and industry-specific curricula aligned with workforce needs. The initiative responds to demand for more practical, communication-focused English training in sectors including semiconductors, AI, cybersecurity, biotechnology, and energy. Success will include improved English proficiency, stronger U.S.-Dominican institutional partnerships, expanded professional opportunities, and sustainable nationwide ESP programming. Program participants will be selected through open call and final decisions will be made based on agreed-upon criteria in consultation with the U.S. Embassy. Project Audience(s): ● Dominican university students and technical institute students in STEM fields ● Faculty and instructors from universities and technical institutions ● In-service professionals working in sectors linked to U.S. investment and collaboration ● Geographic focus: nationwide, with emphasis on areas with strong industrial, academic, and innovation growth ● Age groups: 18–45 ● Professions: mining, engineering, technology, AI, semiconductors, cybersecurity, biotechnology, and research sectors Project Goal: Strengthen English-language capacity and professional collaboration between Dominican and U.S. institutions in strategically relevant productive sectors to support workforce development, innovation, and economic engagement. Project Objectives: ● Objective 1: Design and implement at least five English for Specific Purposes (ESP) programs aligned with U.S. technical and industry standards for STEM and productive sectors. ● Objective 2: Improve technical English proficiency and professional communication skills for at least 500-800 Dominican students, faculty, and professionals over three years. 2.
