Montenegro English Teaching Assistant Award

The Fulbright ETA program in Montenegro provides invaluable first-hand exposure to fluent English speakers, significantly helping to improve English language learning while also providing an avenue for cultural exchange. ETAs are usually placed at the University of Montenegro in Niksic and a leading high school in the capital of Podgorica. At the university, ETAs provide support for English language teaching instruction to English language majors studying to become English language teachers and interpreters. This placement includes independent teaching of communication and academic writing workshops. At the high school level, ETAs help Montenegrin teachers teach their subjects (specifically: mathematics, biology, physics, history) in English, as part of specialized bilingual programs. The grant period is 10 months (two semesters), typically beginning in late August or early September and concluding at the end of June or early July. ETAs are expected to engage in teaching responsibilities for approximately 20 hours per week and also participate in supplementary projects for 2-3 hours per week related to their personal, career, and educational interests.
