35 FULBRIGHT ENGLISH TEACHING ASSISTANTSHIPS Language Language No Indonesian language skills are required. Students will be provided basic language instruction in Bahasa Indonesia as a part of the orientation. All instruction of teaching methodology is in English.
Candidate profile Applicants should be graduating seniors or graduate students, mature, articulate, resourceful, flexible, and committed to working in an instructional setting with high school students. Candidates should be native English speakers. No previous teaching experience is required.
Grant period Total grant period is a 9½-month academic year, plus two weeks of orientation (total grant period is 9 -10 months depending on the dates of Ramadan in Indonesia), which will commence in August 2011. The start date and duration of the grant may vary due to the fasting month of Ramadan.
Nature of assignments Approximately 20 hours per week assisting teachers in their classrooms, plus requisite class preparation time and school-related activities. English Teaching Assistants (ETAs) will typically teach conversational English to high school students at selected public schools, private schools, and Islamic boarding schools throughout Indonesia, many of which are outside of major cities.
Housing Housing arrangements will be made by the Fulbright Commission in Indonesia and the schools where ETAs will be placed. Please note: Many ETA sites are in rural areas, so ETAs need to be prepared to adapt to local customs, conditions and norms. Often housing situations vary and this also requires flexibility and adaptation on the part of ETAs. Alternative housing arrangements are not permitted.
Dependents Because housing arrangements at public or private school(s) or pesantren or madrasah may include homestay situations and, due to permit restrictions for this program, ETAs may not be accompanied by dependents. Alternative housing arrangements are not permitted. Restriction This program is essentially for teaching. Because of visa and permit restrictions it is not possible for ETAs to undertake an independent research project. Employment with non-governmental organizations is also not possible due to permit restrictions. However, ETAs are encouraged to seek opportunities for cultural exchange, including community service, to enhance their overall Fulbright experience.
