Fulbright Global TEFL Opportunities

The Fulbright Scholar Program is pleased to announce an exciting new innovation for applicants in the field of Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL).   For the 2014-15 competition, U.S. scholars wishing to apply for teaching or teaching/research grants will be able to broaden the number of countries in which they can be considered for a grant. Due to the perennial interest across the globe in strengthening programs in English-language instruction, scholars in TEFL are being sought in each of Fulbright’s six world regions:  Western Hemisphere, Europe and Eurasia, South and Central Asia, East Asia and the Pacific, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Middle East and North Africa. 

While most Fulbright Scholar applications are for a single country program (with the exception of Regional Research Programs), candidates for the Fulbright Global TEFL Awards are encouraged to consider a wider set of options.  Applicants may select up to three countries, one world region, or simply indicate no preference, leaving placement open to any country.
