Fulbright English Teaching Assistant Award - Turkey (Türkiye)

The English Teaching Assistant Award (ETA) Program in Türkiye is administered by the Turkish Fulbright Commission and partners with developing state universities. Grantees will be placed in a variety of cities across Türkiye where they are expected to assist language teaching programs. The exact responsibilities and duties assigned to the ETAs will vary from university to university. All grantees are expected to assist with language instruction, engage in cultural activities, and contribute to their host institutions in meaningful ways. ETAs will teach English at developing state universities, usually in English Language Preparatory Schools, where they will typically focus on speaking and listening skills. The program is designed to facilitate cultural and educational exchange, especially within communities that have not historically been exposed to American culture or native English speakers, helping to build up English language programs at developing state universities across Türkiye. The 9-month grant begins in mid-September and runs through mid-June, with mandatory in-country orientation, mid-year evaluation meeting, and final evaluation meeting. Grantees receive a monthly stipend, international travel benefits, health coverage, and additional allowances for housing, language training, and settling in.
