Malta English Teaching Assistant Award

The Fulbright English Teaching Assistant Award in Malta provides opportunities for U.S. citizens to assist permanent teaching staff at the University of Malta and at Maltese and Gozitan middle schools, working primarily with middle school students ages 9 to 12. The program aims to strengthen English language and English/American studies instruction at Maltese educational institutions by providing an American fluent speaker presence in the classroom for 12 to 16 teaching hours per week. ETAs arrive in mid-September to participate in teacher meetings prior to the start of the academic year, with grants concluding in mid-June. The program is nine months in duration. In addition to teaching responsibilities, grantees may enroll in academic courses each semester or engage in independent research related to their fields of study, if the assignment permits. ETAs are encouraged to perform volunteer work with local NGOs, marine conservation, sports, and cultural activities. Preference is given to applicants with a bachelor's degree at the time of application, demonstrating initiative, maturity, and self-reliance. Master's-level candidates and applicants with teaching experience are encouraged to apply.
