Paraguay - English Teaching Assistant Award

The Fulbright English Teaching Assistant (ETA) Award in Paraguay provides an opportunity for U.S. citizens to work as language-learning assistants for 10 months in Asunción or the immediate metro area. ETAs will work up to 25 hours per week developing and leading language learning activities and classes under the supervision of faculty and/or host staff, while promoting U.S. culture through cultural and social programs. Placements may include the Thomas Edison American Corner at the National University of Asunción, the Centro Cultural Paraguayo Americano (CCPA), and other educational institutions. ETAs are not responsible for teaching entire courses but rather assist with presentations on U.S. topics, classroom activities, language clubs, essay-writing, test preparation, and encouraging students to communicate in English. The program begins in February 2027 and corresponds to the Paraguayan academic year running from February through December with a two-week winter vacation in July. The ideal candidate is a dedicated educator with a bachelor's or master's degree, preferably in Education, English, Spanish, or TEFL/applied linguistics, with teaching or tutoring experience and an interest in international educational environments. Candidates should be culturally sensitive, open-minded, adaptable, and eager to serve as cultural ambassadors promoting mutual understanding between the United States and Paraguay.
