Description
Through the Fulbright English Teaching Assistant (ETA) Program, the Fulbright Commission in Colombia offers higher education institutions (HEIs) in Colombia the opportunity to receive support from one or more young U.S. Fulbright grantees who will assist in teaching English according to the needs of the institution. This support will be provided for a period of 10 months (one academic year) during the 2025-2026 academic year.
The Fulbright ETA Program aims to strengthen English as a second language in Colombian higher education institutions. In addition, the program promotes a continuous cultural exchange that enriches the experience of both the institutions and the assistants, creating new opportunities for all parties involved.
Among the objectives of the program are:
- Strengthening the teaching of English as a second language in Colombia, thus contributing to the goals established by the National Government.
- To contribute to the processes of internationalization of higher education in Colombia.
- Generate new links and strengthen existing ones between the Colombian and U.S. academic communities, with the aim of supporting educational and teaching processes in both countries.
- To generate and strengthen international mobility programs between Colombia and the United States as well as academic networks between both nations.
