Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship to Norway

The Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship (ETA) program aims to strengthen English language instruction and language skills in Norwegian high schools and universities. The program provides opportunities for up to four U.S. citizens to serve as English teaching assistants in Norway for a 10-month period. Grantees will be assigned to a Norwegian secondary school and a local university, or solely to a local university, where they will assist with English language teaching. Teaching assistant activities may include serving as a resource person in conversation groups, providing small group tutorials, assisting students with written English, and giving talks related to American studies in English classes or school/civic organizations. Each host institution will tailor the assistantship to its English language teaching needs and to the grantee's background, academic interests and abilities. The program runs from mid-August through mid-June, beginning with the school year at the host institution. Grantees are expected to attend a two-day orientation meeting in Oslo in late August or early September.
