1 Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship
Language:
Knowledge of Serbian is desirable, but not required.
Grant period:
9 months, October to June.
Candidate profile:
Well-rounded, articulate candidates at all degree levels with an interest in international education and the initiative to teach conversational English at all levels will be accepted. Undergraduate degrees in the humanities and social sciences, with a focus on English, American Studies, or education, are preferred. Successful candidates will not just be teaching English, but explaining the U.S. to local citizens who have little contextual understanding of America. Previous teaching experience is not required, but is helpful. Applicants must be native English-speakers.
Nature of assignment:
Placement is primarily at universities, but may be in schools or other venues where English-language instruction is needed. The ETA will teach under the supervision of an experienced English instructor and will serve as a resource for conversation, vocabulary, and reading and writing courses. They may also be involved with some educational advising and outreach.
Supplementary project:
The ETA is expected to engage in other activities related to their personal career, and/or educational interests. This may be an independent study/research project or other activity, which will not conflict with assigned teaching and advising responsibilities. Applicants should include a brief description of their supplementary projects in their Statements of Grant Purpose.
Visa requirement:
U.S. students, as well as all accompanying dependents, regardless of age, must register with the local police within 24 hours of receiving a Serbian entry stamp at a border crossing or airport, and apply for temporary residence status within three days of arrival in Serbia.
