Margot Pomparat and Marinne Rougé of France have been awarded Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant (FLTA) Program grants to serve as teaching assistants and take courses at Central College. While in the United States, Pomparat and Rougé will share their language and culture with U.S. communities to inspire Americans to travel and study overseas, and make U.S. citizens better prepared to engage with businesses, governments and organizations abroad.
Pomparat and Rougé will serve as language assistants not only in classes at Central, but also in dedicated, foreign-language housing where French, German and Spanish students immerse themselves in language study.
Recipients of Fulbright FLTA grants are selected on the basis of academic and professional achievement, as well as demonstrated leadership potential. Pomparat and Rougé are two of nearly 400 young educators from 50 countries who have traveled to the United States for the 2016-2017 academic year through the Fulbright FLTA Program to help internationalize U.S. colleges and universities, a key goal of many institutions as they prepare students for the 21st century workforce and globalized world.
