Hi Friends!

I have been keeping an eye on past year's threads for Fulbright and I am eager to now have a chance to apply! I am an English Education major from a small liberal arts university in Ohio, I am currently teaching in India in a small school near a village of approximately 600, this is the only inclusion school for students with special needs in the surrounding area. I will be teaching here for 5 months as part of my student teaching requirement for certification and undergrad graduation. Over the past few years in undergrad I have traveled to Costa Rica to teach in an orphanage, and for the past two winters have taught in the West Bank of the Palestinian Territories in a refugee camp near Bethlehem (and going back in December!). International education is a great passion of mine and I have found a lot of energy through these travels so Fulbright ETA feels like a natural fit before pursuing an MA program in TESOL or International Education Development and Policy.

Is anyone in interested in workshopping S.O.P together? I work as a writing consultant at my school but seem to fail to apply such skills to my own writing.

Also, to soothe some already mounting anxiety, the google doc for notification dates (for all you planners out there) is here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AlU2xDiiVhQjK3quPy6qXJuhgXYghzzG8L4YNT0unX0/edit#gid=1535702113

I am torn between which countries to submit my application, either Czech Republic or Turkey. My real attraction is Morocco or Jordan (or the Palestinian Territory which is now offered this year but I am looking for a new experience- if anyone would like some insight to teaching in that area please contact me! Pay careful mind to the restrictions seen on the country details) but unfortunately have not developed any real understanding of Arabic despite my travels aside from travel and market language. 

Best! Can't wait to chat with y'all and develop some groupthink about suspected notification dates and other irrational theories that gradcafe fosters! <3

Okonkwo,

I would love to workshop S.O.P together. I am applying for a research grant in Jordan so it is great to hear that someone else has had experience in the area. Turkey and Czech Republic sound like great options! I was in between Turkey and Jordan initially.

AnnMarie,
Thank you for creating this thread! I have been watching the thread for the 2017 cycle for some time now. I am thinking of applying to Jordan for a research grant.
