The ETA program placement and schedule may vary from one academic year to the next.
Language Maltese language not required.
Grant period 9 months, October to June.
Candidate profile Applications from students at all degree levels will be accepted, but strong preference will be given to applicants already possessing a BA degree at the time of application. Master’s level candidates with the initiative, maturity, and self reliance needed to assist in teaching English language and American studies to Maltese students in university, high school, and elementary schools environments are encouraged to apply, as are applicants with teaching experience.
Affiliation Details of assignments will be subject to communication between the U.S. Embassy with Malta’s Ministry of Education and the University of Malta.
General comments In addition to their English Teaching Assistant activities, grantees may enroll in academic courses each semester, if the assignment permits such activity, or engage in independent research related to their fields of study. These activities, combined with the Teaching Assistant responsibilities, will comprise a full-time program. Each host institution will tailor the assistantship to its language teaching needs and the grantee’s background, academic interests, and abilities.
Reasearch grants Candidates wishing to do study or research in Malta may apply through the European Union.
