Fulbright MA TESOL
The U.S. Embassy Regional English Language Office announces a programmatic reorganization aimed at strengthening English language teaching capacity in South Africa.
Effective immediately, we will no longer administer the Summer English Teaching Institute (SETI), a six-week program held annually since 1986. Instead, resources will be redirected to fund qualified candidates for placement in U.S. Masters degree programs in Teaching of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) – Selected applicants will be afforded an opportunity to obtain a Masters degree in TESOL in one or two-year programs at participating U.S. universities.
Applications are open
English Teaching Fellow Program (ETF)
The English Language Fellow Program provides American professional expertise in teaching English as a foreign or additional language by sending qualified American educators on ten-month fellowships to overseas academic institutions.

Institutions interested in hosting a Fellow should contact the RELO office to discuss conditions, dates and objectives.

The English Language Specialist Program recruits United States specialists in the areas of English language teaching and Applied Linguistics for short term (two to six weeks) assignments abroad.
