Slovak Republic - English Teaching Assistant Award

The Slovak Fulbright Commission offers up to 16 Fulbright English Teaching Assistant (ETA) Awards to Slovakia. The ETA Program gives U.S. college graduates at Bachelor's level or higher a unique opportunity to spend a whole school year at Slovak High School assisting with teaching the English language and immersing in a vibrant central European cultural environment. The ETAs' primary role is to assist with teaching the English language at Slovak High School for a maximum of 15 to 18 hours per week. Grantees will work with permanent teaching staff in guiding vocabulary and conversation practice and improve students' English language abilities and knowledge of U.S. culture. In addition to serving as linguistic models in a classroom of English instruction, ETAs are also a valuable resource for first-hand information about American culture, traditions, and society, and are informal ambassadors of the U.S. In this capacity, ETAs contribute substantially to the promotion and fostering of mutual understanding between the peoples of the United States and Slovakia. The grant period is 10 months, running from September 2026 to June 2027.
