The Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship (ETA) program is a collaborative effort between the United States and host countries around the world. By bringing together recent American graduates and local English teachers, the program promotes not only English language learning but also cross-cultural exchange. Taiwan's Fulbright ETA program first began in 2003 in Yilan, and has since expanded to Kaohsiung, Kinmen, Taipei, Taichung, Taitung, Hualien, Changhua, Yunlin and New Taipei City. Fulbright ETAs collaborate with local Taiwanese teachers and provide native English instruction, incorporating cultural lessons into their curricula to help broaden student perspectives on the world.

Co-Teaching

The Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship is centered around teaching English and sharing American culture with elementary and middle school children throughout Taiwan. To do this, Fulbright's English Teaching Assistants (ETAs) collaborate with local Taiwanese teachers and provide native English instruction. ETAs are also encouraged to incorporate cultural lessons into their curricula, thus helping broaden student perspectives on the world.
