Welcome to the website of the Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant (FLTA) Program.

The study of languages is essential in creating true understanding among people of different nations.  The Fulbright FLTA Program is designed to develop Americans' knowledge of foreign languages by supporting teaching assistantships in over 30 languages at hundreds of U.S. institutions of higher education.  The program offers educators and scholars from nearly 50 countries the opportunity to develop their professional skills and gain first-hand knowledge of the United States, its culture and its people.
