Croatia - English Teaching Assistant Award

The English Teaching Assistant (ETA) Program places Fulbrighters in university level classrooms to provide assistance to local English language professors. ETAs help teach English language while serving as cultural ambassadors for the United States. ETAs will interact with undergraduate level students and will assist in teaching under the supervision of an experienced English instructor, serving as a resource for conversation, vocabulary, and reading and writing courses. Grantees may also be involved with educational advising, outreach, or community activities. ETAs should be prepared to dedicate about 25 hours per week to prepare for and offer English language teaching, including small group tutorials, organizing extra-curricular language-learning activities, and teaching curricular components. The Croatian Ministry of Science and Education makes the final decisions on the ETAs placement in Croatia. Grants are for 9 months beginning in October, aligning with the Croatian academic year. Well-rounded, articulate candidates at all degree levels with an interest in international education and the initiative to teach conversational English are encouraged to apply. Undergraduate degrees in the humanities and the social sciences, with a focus on English, American studies, or Education, are preferred. Previous teaching experience is not required, but is helpful.
