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 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 the National English Working Group. The program will leverage expertise in English language teaching and technical education to strengthen institutional partnerships and expand professional opportunities for Dominican participants.
