Fulbright Language Reports

Lots of questions about the Fulbright language reports. They can be completed by language teachers outside of the university, and should be, if a private language tutor is the person most familiar with your abilities in the language.

Keep in mind that you need to possess the amount of language ability necessary to complete your project. Part of completing that project is living in a particular country, so even if your project is conducted in English, you should know enough of the local dialect to get from the airport to your hotel, order food in restaurants, and go shopping.

If a language isn't required for your country or your project, but you intend to study it in the meantime, be sure to state this on your own language report and have your teacher certify it on his/hers.

Finally, as always, I must urge all potential Fulbrighters to visit the individual country summaries on the Fulbright website.
