Morocco - English Teaching Assistant Award

The Fulbright English Teaching Assistant (ETA) Program in Morocco aims to strengthen English language instruction at Moroccan public universities by providing assistance to the permanent Moroccan teaching staff. ETAs serve as stand-alone teachers in classrooms, responsible for developing their own lesson plans and managing their own classrooms. The program typically runs for 10 months from late August to early July, with placements throughout the Moroccan public university system. ETAs teach English courses for no more than 20 contact hours per week, participate in university cultural events, and often contribute time to volunteer work in their communities. The program offers cross-cultural interactions, research possibilities, and volunteering opportunities in placement communities. ETAs benefit from orientations including language training and workshops on navigating the Moroccan university system. Candidates should be strong self-starters who are flexible, adaptive, patient, culturally sensitive, and self-sufficient, as they will need to navigate both structured environments and situations of ambiguity.
