American Council of Teachers of Russian (ACTR) is an organization that has to advance
research,
training, and materials development in the fields of
Russian and
English language; to strengthen
communication within and between the communities of
scholars and
educators in
language,
literature, and
area studies in the
United States and the countries of
eastern Europe,
Russia and
Eurasia; and to further educational reform through
training, institution building, and
technical assistance. It was first founded in
1974. In the mid-
1980s with the gradual opening of
Soviet society, the ACTR board established American Council for Collaboration in Education and Language Study (ACCELS). The ACCELS led in the administration of U.S. government-funded exchanges in the
humanities,
social sciences,
economics,
business,
law,
public administration, and educational administration. In
1998,
ACTR changed its name to the American Councils for International Education (ACIE), and
ACTR and ACCELS continue as divisions of the American Councils.
ACTR is the professional association and the focus of educational, training, and research programs for U.S. citizens; ACCELS administers the exchange, training, and technical assistance programs with the countries of eastern Europe, Russia, and Eurasia.
