Bahrain - English Teaching Assistant Award

The Fulbright English Teaching Assistant (ETA) Program in Bahrain aims to strengthen English language instruction at Bahraini institutions by providing 20-25 hours per week of assistance to students that require English language support in local universities with a broad range of fields of study including medical, business, art and design. At the same time, U.S. participants gain from the intensive cross-cultural interaction and international educational opportunities. The Kingdom of Bahrain is an archipelago made up of 33 islands located in the Arabian Gulf with a population of approximately 1.5 million. The Fulbright Program in Bahrain began in 1995 and is administered by the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in Manama. Grant dates correspond with the academic year in Bahrain, September through June, with a duration of 10 months. Grantees assigned to host institutions will be considered faculty, with roles and responsibilities assigned by the academic department.
