Azerbaijan - English Teaching Assistant Award

The Fulbright Program in Azerbaijan seeks to strengthen educational and cultural relations between the United States and Azerbaijan. U.S. Fulbright English Teaching Assistants (ETAs) work to support and strengthen English-language instruction at Azerbaijani institutions of higher education. This 9-month program runs from September to June and places ETAs at universities across Azerbaijan including in Baku, Ganja, Lankaran, Sumgayit, and Sheki. ETAs play a significant role in modernizing English-language instruction and helping transition to a more communicative style of teaching and learning. Beyond teaching, ETAs can participate in public and cultural outreach programs and initiate self-designed community service projects such as starting clubs, helping with community projects, working with students on university applications, and serving as judges or coaches for English-language competitions. The U.S. Embassy in Baku provides guidance and support throughout the grant period, including assistance with visa processing and housing arrangements.
