The Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship Program (ETA) offers one-year teaching assignment to more than 70 countries throughout the world. The requirements of each host country vary tremendously, so a careful reading of each country's Candidate Profile can help you as you narrow down your choice of host country.
Some sites are open to any native speaker of English with a Bachelor's degree in hand at the start of the ETA award. These sites may want some teaching or tutoring experience, a degree in English, American Studies, history with a concentration in US history, or other social science and humanities majors. They do not require any formal training in applied linguistics or teaching of English as a second language. MLLI majors are strongly encouraged to apply for sites with an asterisk.
