Fulbright Foreign Language Teacher Assistant Program (FLTA)

The Fulbright FLTA Program is a nine-month, ECA-funded, non-degree program that provides young teachers of English an opportunity to refine their teaching skills, increase their English language proficiency and extend their knowledge of the society and culture of the United States, while teaching Russian language to U.S. students and strengthening foreign language instruction at U.S. colleges and universities. Fulbright FLTA participants also interact with their host communities in conversation groups, extracurricular activities, and community outreach projects.  Fulbright FLTA participants must return to Russia upon completion of the program.

Fulbright FLTA participants may assist in or teach up to twenty hours of language classes a week and are required to enroll in at least two courses per semester, one of which must be in U.S. Studies.  The remaining coursework should relate to their careers in English language teaching.
Fulbright FLTA participants will also be expected to facilitate cultural events, language clubs, and language tables.

Applicants must be teachers of English or in training to become teachers of English, and at minimum must possess the equivalent of a U.S. Bachelor’s degree by June 1, 2012. Fluency in English is mandatory.  Applicants must be residing in Russia throughout the nomination and selection process.  Due to the structure of the Fulbright FLTA Program, applicants should be at least 21 years old and no more than 29 years old by the October 1, 2012. Fulbright FLTA participants are required to return to their home countries upon completion of the nine-month program.
