Guys thanks for all your input. It sounds like most of you applied through institutions. I graduated this May and, having missed my university deadline, am now applying at large. From reading successful ETA essays, one thing seems to be clear: all of the candidates seem to have extensive teaching experience. I don't. I can accept this and am making the best of it. But one thing has me stumped. In the ETA STATEMENT OF GRANT essay, one of the things you have to mention is what you're going to be doing when not teaching.
I was wondering how did you guys come up with projects to do when not teaching in your host country?
