Lithuania - English Teaching Assistant Award

The Fulbright English Teaching Assistant Award in Lithuania provides an opportunity for U.S. citizens to serve as teaching assistants in regional schools throughout Lithuania for 10 months. ETAs assist experienced English-language instructors and serve as resources for conversation, vocabulary, and reading and writing courses, with classroom hours not exceeding 25 hours per week. Teaching assistant activities include serving as a resource person in the classroom and conversation groups, providing small group tutorials, assisting students with reading and written English, and giving presentations related to American studies. The program requires completion of a supplementary project focused on community service, engagement, or research that addresses issues of significance to contemporary U.S. and Lithuania national security priorities. ETAs are placed in small towns around Lithuania, not in larger cities, and work with middle and secondary school students. The grant runs from late August to mid-to-late June, covering the typical Lithuanian academic year from September through June.
