Moldova English Teaching Assistant Award

The Moldova English Teaching Assistant Award is part of the Fulbright U.S. Student Program, providing opportunities for U.S. citizens to teach English in Moldova for nine months. Grantees will teach English under the supervision of an experienced English instructor and serve as a resource for conversation, vocabulary, and reading and writing courses at high schools and universities outside the capital city of Chisinau. ETAs may also be involved in educational advising and outreach activities. In addition to teaching, grantees are encouraged to develop extracurricular projects at the university or for the local community, engaging with Moldova's multi-ethnic culture and serving as cultural ambassadors for the United States. The program runs from September 2026 to June 2027 and includes pre-departure and in-country orientations. Well-rounded, articulate candidates at all degree levels with an interest in international education and the initiative to teach conversational English will be considered. Undergraduate degrees in Humanities and Social Sciences, with a focus on English, American Studies, or Education, are preferred. Previous teaching experience is not required but is helpful, and applicants must be fluent English speakers. Some knowledge of Romanian or Russian is recommended, and preference may be given to candidates with proficiency in one or both languages.
