Česko-americký vládní program posílá rodilé mluvčí do středních škol v regionech

Deset čerstvých absolventů amerických vysokých škol bude v roli asistentů pomáhat zlepšovat angličtinu českých středoškoláků v regionech. Jejich působení v České republice umožnilo vládní stipendium česko-amerického Fulbrightova programu.    

S „Fulbright English Teaching Assistants“, zkráceně ETA, se letos budou moci setkat studenti na středních školách v Benešově, Českém Těšíně, Holešově, Chotěboři, Kolíně, Ostravě, Prostějově, ve Starém Městě, Tišnově a Vsetíně.

Fulbright ETA na srpnovém školení v Brně

„Při výběru škol se zaměřujeme na školy mimo Prahu, protože si uvědomujeme, že je pro ně problém najít rodilého mluvčího, který by obohatil výuku a zvýšil motivaci studentů. Pro školy je tento program výhodný v tom, že za asistenta nemusí platit, protože jeho pobyt je kompletně hrazen vládním stipendiem. Bohužel zájem ze strany středních škol výrazně přesahuje možnosti program, takže nejsme schopni asistenty nabídnout všem školám, které o něj mají zájem,“ vysvětluje fungování programu jeho koordinátorka Andrea Semancová z Komise J. Williama Fulbrighta, která má Fulbrightovy stipendijní programy v České republice na starosti.

Více informací o programu asistentů a formulář žádosti pro školy najdete na stránce Fulbrightovy komise.

Na školení připraveném ve spolupráci s Masarykovou univerzitou se asistenti pilně chystali na svou pedagogickou roli

Czech Prom Season: A Story of a Feathered Raffle Win

Authors: Griffin Trau, Katie Winner, Alanna Powers (current Fulbright ETAs) If you’re an American, chances are we all had similar prom experiences in high school. Usually a few weeks before graduation, boys ask girls to the prom. Girls buy a fancy dress, and boys a nice suit with a matching tie. Prom night consists of about an hour of picture taking with your date and friend group, followed by a ride to prom in a nice car or a limo. The dance itself is about three hours long, and the only people in attendance are typically students at the school with a handful of teacher chaperones. After prom ends, around 10 or 11 p.m., all the students leave and go their separate ways for the night, usually to a post-prom hang out. After attending six (and counting!) Czech proms, I can confidently state that Czech proms are nothing like American proms. At all. My school, Střední Škola Informatiky a Služeb, is a technical school with seven different concentrations of study. Of these seve...

Kurt Klaus: Letters to Ourselves - On Stuttering, Exploration, and Accomplishing Goals

Kurt Klaus is an English Teaching Assistant. This June, he is wrapping up his 10-month Fulbright grant at Sportovní gymnázium Pardubice, a general college-preparatory high school for athletes located in a regional hub and university town of 90,000. With a B.A. in American Literature and Culture and a B.S. in Cognitive Science, a college-preparatory high school was an obvious placement. As an athlete with experience playing basketball and volleyball in high school, Kurt was excited to meet his colleagues and students in September. While he could have simply tried to blend in, he instead decided to take advantage of a fresh start in a foreign country: to him, this meant embracing his authenticity with all that it contains, including his stutter. Throughout his life, Kurt had developed various strategies to mask his impediment and pretend it didn’t exist. This year, however, in his new role as a teaching assistant, he approached the situation differently. Fast forward to June, and today h...

After learning about the recent quiet resurgence of syphilis, she has been determined to contribute to the prevention of this ailment with her research. After her Fulbright experience in the Czech Republic, she plans to attend medical school and become a medical practitioner focusing on infectious diseases.
