US Fulbright Scholarship for Pakistani Students 2021 Fully Funded
The United States Educational Foundation in Pakistan (USEFP) invites applications from teachers of English at the college/university level for the Foreign Language Teaching Assistant (FLTA) Program. FLTAs from Pakistan will teach Urdu or Pashto at the selected U.S. campuses during their nine-month grant, beginning in Fall 2022.
The Fulbright FLTA Program is a nine-month, U.S. Department of State-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 being teaching assistants for their native 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 their home country upon completion of the program.
Fulbright FLTA participants may assist in up to 20 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. Coursework is offered on either an audit or credit basis. Fulbright FLTA participants will also be expected to facilitate cultural events, language clubs, and language tables.
