About this opportunity

The Fulbright English Teaching Assistant (ETA) Program in Jordan aims to enhance English language education and promote mutual understanding between the United States and Jordan. ETAs are placed in Jordanian educational institutions, where they assist in teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and serve as cultural ambassadors. This role involves not only classroom instruction but also active participation in community engagement and cultural exchange activities. ETAs are assigned to various educational settings, including primary and secondary schools, universities, NGOs, or other educational institutions across Jordan. Their primary responsibilities include classroom assistance, collaborating with local English teachers to enhance students' language proficiency through interactive and innovative teaching methods, and cultural exchange by sharing American culture and values with students and colleagues. The program seeks to enhance English language education, foster mutual understanding, and develop professional skills by providing ETAs with international teaching experience. ETA awards are granted for a fixed duration of nine months, with the program commencing in mid-to-late September 2026 and concluding in mid-to-late June 2027, aligning with the Jordanian academic calendar.
