| Summary: | This document, the final report of a project assessing the general status of English language training (ELT) in Central America, includes an overview of the process, general recommendations, and country-specific information and recommendations for training and policy development. The purpose was to assess the potential effects of the ELT situation on the Central American Peace Scholarship (CAPS) Program, a technical training exchange program with the United States. The major recommendations are for the improvement of in-country and U.S. preparatory training for CAPS program participants through the use of consultants in program development, immersion instruction, and independent study; and for the improvement of national ELT programs through improved materials, teacher training seminars and national ELT policy. Specific recommendations are also made for Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Panama, and special reports containing recommendations for establishing a regional center for ELT are included for Belize and the Regional Office for Central American Programs.
