Fulbright English Teaching Assistant Award - Cambodia

The Fulbright English Teaching Assistant (ETA) Program places ETAs in classrooms in Cambodia to provide assistance to local English teachers. ETAs help teach English language while serving as grassroots cultural ambassadors of the United States. This is a 10-month grant program starting in fall 2026, with ETAs placed at public secondary schools, universities, and vocational training colleges in Phnom Penh and various provinces. ETAs will work with their Cambodian counterpart teachers to plan and teach lessons, with weekly teaching hours ranging from 14-16 hours. In addition to teaching, ETAs can establish English clubs, sports or cultural classes, and volunteer with local NGOs. Prior teaching experience is not required but beneficial. This is a professional development opportunity to advance teaching skills and engage in cross-cultural exchange. The program requires participation in pre-departure and in-country orientations. ETAs are expected to be self-motivated, creative, adaptable, and professional, serving as cultural ambassadors to promote mutual understanding between the United States and Cambodia. Candidates must be willing to learn, respect, and adapt to a new culture in an environment where flexibility, patience, and understanding are essential.
