World Languages 360 and Extempore Announce a New Grant Program for the Fall 2025 Semester

We are pleased to announce a collaboration between World Languages 360 (https://worldlanguages360.org) and Extempore (https://extemporeapp.com/) through which up to 5 grants will be made available for the Fall 2025 academic semester. Successful applications will seek to make significant use of Extempore’s capabilities for world language teaching and learning. Support will include free licenses of Extempore for the grantees and their learners, as well as honoraria for the applicants. Additional resources are available for materials and travel to conferences or professional association meetings as a presenter about the awarded project.

What Do Grantees Receive?

  • Extempore will provide free licenses to the grantees and their learners for the duration of the project.
  • The maximum total grant award amount per project is $2,000 (exclusive of the value of Extempore licenses).
  • Honoraria are awarded up to $500 per individual for the year 2025 (with a maximum of 2 people per grant, for a total of $1,000 per award in honoraria).
  • Travel is reimbursable with receipts and includes hotel, transportation, registration, and meals when presenting at a conference or professional meetings about the project (presentation must take place within a year of the end of the grant period). These expenses are capped at up to $1,000.
  • Materials for acquiring or licensing resources for learners to use while participating in the project are supported as long as the total proposed budget remains at or below the $2,000 limit.

Where can I find more information about the requirements, application deadlines, and ideas for project topics?
