About This Opportunity

The Fulbright English Teaching Assistant Award in Papua New Guinea is a 10-month teaching assistantship program that places U.S. citizens in secondary schools and teacher training colleges across Papua New Guinea. ETAs teach approximately 16-18 hours per week and engage in cultural exchange activities. The program begins in February with an orientation in Port Moresby, including intensive Tok Pisin language training, ESL teaching techniques, and cultural preparation. ETAs will be placed primarily in regional locations such as Wewak, teaching at institutions like St. Benedict's Teachers College. During the mid-year break, ETAs may participate in outreach assignments in Honiara, Solomon Islands. This program requires flexibility, independence, and cultural adaptability as grantees work in less comfortable settings with limited medical and other services compared to the United States.
