Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant Program

The FLTA Program aims to strengthen foreign language instruction at U.S. colleges and universities, while providing foreign English language teachers with the opportunity to refine their teaching skills, increase their English language proficiency, and extend their knowledge of the U.S. society and culture. FLTAs will work at selected U.S. universities as teaching assistants in Turkish language teaching programs. They may assist in up to twenty hours of language classes a week. In addition, they are required to take two courses per semester in English Teaching and/or U.S. studies at these institutions. Coursework is offered on either audit or credit basis.
