The NFLC hires consultants on a regular basis. The majority of our consultants may work from home and include experienced language instructors, language test developers and reviewers, foreign language editors, audio narrators, and instructional designers. We typically employ consultants who are native or near-native speakers of languages that are less commonly taught in the United States. While we welcome and encourage resumes from anyone interested in working on our projects, at this time, we are seeking applicants for the following opportunities.
