Be a cultural ambassador of the U.S. -- inspiring connections through teaching EFL in Jordanian classrooms!

The Fulbright English Teaching Assistant (ETA) Program in Jordan fosters mutual understanding and cultural exchange between Jordan and the United States. Through this program, American ETAs engage with Jordanian educational institutions to enhance English language learning, while immersing themselves in Jordanian culture. In turn, the program offers Jordanians the opportunity to engage with American culture creating a dynamic exchange that promotes cross-cultural dialogue.
