About this opportunity

The Fulbright English Teaching Assistant Program in Mozambique aims to strengthen educational and cultural relationships between the United States and Mozambique. More specifically, it serves to strengthen English learning and teaching in Mozambique's secondary schools, which operate under the guidance of the Ministry of Education. ETAs will be placed at universities in Maputo to assist with English language teaching for up to 25 hours per week and are expected to engage in supplementary projects related to their personal, career, and educational interests for 10-15 hours weekly. The program runs for 9 months starting in late January, aligning with Mozambique's academic year. Candidates with degrees in English, education, TEFL/applied linguistics or American Studies, and teaching experience are preferred. Portuguese language proficiency at intermediate level or advanced Spanish skills are required at application, with advanced Portuguese highly recommended by grant start.
