The English Teaching Fellow Program

Full-time teachers of English (up to 20 hrs/wk) plus possible materials/test development or teacher training activities are recruited for worldwide assignments yearly (see current list of Fellows).

Assignments are for twelve months, with extensions of up to another twelve months occasionally granted. The English Teaching Fellow Program provides recent M.A. graduates in TESL/TEFL with the opportunity to teach abroad at universities, teacher training colleges, binational centers, or other host country institutions that use English teaching as a means to promote cultural understanding.

Eligibility Requirements:

• Must be a U.S. citizen.
• Must have received an M.A. in TESL/TEFL or closely related field within the last five years, or expect to have the degree in hand by June 30 preceding the teaching year.

Benefits include:

• Basic stipend which is paid in dollars, usually into a U.S. bank account.
• Living allowance, which varies from country to country and may be paid either in local currency or in dollars in a U.S. bank account.
• International round-trip transportation from U.S. residence to assignment.
• Basic group medical/hospitalization insurance.
• Core texts, an orientation, and miscellaneous predeparture expenses.

The program remuneration is sufficient to support only one person. Dependents travel at the fellow's expense.

Fellows begin their assignments in September, following orientation in Washington, DC.
