Mongolia English Teaching Assistant Award

The Fulbright program is offering up to eight English Teaching Assistant (ETA) Awards in Mongolia to U.S. graduates. English Teaching Assistants co-teach English for a 10-month period at Mongolian universities, institutes, or vocational training colleges and serve as U.S. cultural ambassadors in Mongolia. ETAs conduct approximately 20 hours of classroom teaching, 8-10 hours of class preparation time, and 6-8 hours of extracurricular English language-related cross-cultural student activities at their host institutions per week. The program starts in mid-August and ends in mid-June of the next year. Grantees participate in an in-country orientation organized by the U.S. Embassy in Ulaanbaatar. ETAs are typically placed at universities and vocational training centers in the capital and regional cities. Most ETAs are placed at universities, institutes, or vocational training colleges in one of the three major cities of Mongolia: Ulaanbaatar (the capital), Erdenet, and Darkhan.
