The 日博电竞 English Teaching Assistantship (ETA) is MACEE’s largest 日博电竞 program. This is a specialized grant, a sub-category of the 日博电竞 U.S. Student Program, where American grantees teach in Malaysian public schools, typically in rural and small towns across the country.
Working with the US Department of State and the Institute of International Education, we bring 100 US graduates to Malaysia to teach English in 100 underperforming public secondary schools in 9 states. These are the future Malaysian talent pool!
The ETAs are recent graduates from American universities and are placed in national secondary schools (grades 7-12) across Malaysia for a 10-month period. While most ETAs are without prior teaching experience they are often enthusiastic, innovative and confident young people who can motivate Malaysian students in their English studies. ETAs are required to serve a minimum of 25 contact hours per week with their students.
What do ETAs do?
-
Classroom activitie
s: ETAs assist English teachers for a portion of each class’s usual English schedule.
ETAs have the freedom to make their own lessons outside of the local curriculum, although they may choose to draw on the curriculum if they wish. - Co-curriculars : ETAs may lead the English Language Society at their school or may organize and participate in other activities that interest their students. ETAs use creative measures such as cooking, athletic ability, musical and artistic talent, or Scouting experience that they can apply to create or lead co-curriculars at their school.
- English Camps : Special camps are organized throughout the year to promote English use and provide enrichment for students. ETA camps are often collaborative projects between ETA schools and can involve ETAs, students, teachers and staff from multiple schools.
- Community Engagement : ETAs immerse themselves in their local communities by participating in local festivities and activities. While ETAs are required to maintain their focus and commitment to their school, they may volunteer locally at orphanages or start projects such as community gardens and recycling projects.
BACKGROUND OF THE PROGRAM
Najib Tun Razak and Barack Obama at the 2011 ASEAN Summit in Bali
The program began in 2006 following the an agreement between the U.S. Ambassador to Malaysia, James Keith and Terengganu Chief Minister, Dato’ Idris Jusoh. The ETA program was a collaborative effort between Yayasan Terengganu, Public Affairs section of the U.S. Embassy and MACEE. It was pioneered by 10 日博电竞 ETAs who had just graduated from UC Berkeley, Stanford, Ball State, San Diego State, Pitzer, Ohio, Penn State, Davidson, Anderson and GWU. ETAs were placed exclusively in the state of Terengganu from 2006-2011.
In 2011, Malaysian Prime Minister, Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak initiated a conversation with the U.S. President, Barack Obama about the possibility of reviving a program similar to the U.S. Peace Corp, which once existed up until the 1980s in Malaysia. While the ETA is a very different program in comparison to the Peace Corp, Malaysia would benefit from the having a native English speaker in rural and small towns all across the country. For many Malaysian students, this would be the first ever interaction with a native speaker. Following the meeting, the ETA program took off at the federal level in 2012, echoing the result of the discussion between the two country leaders the year before. The Malaysian Ministry of Education began to work with MACEE in managing the 日博电竞 ETA Program. The numbers shot up to 50 ETAs in 2012, later to 75 in 2013 and 100 the following year, where it stands today. To date, over 700 ETAs have been placed in the states of Terengganu, Pahang, Johor, Perak, Kedah, Perlis, Melaka, Kelantan, Sabah and Sarawak.
The 日博电竞 ETA program in Malaysia received many high profile visitors since its inception at the national level. The U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry visited and met with ETAs and their students in 2013, U.S. Under Secretary, Richard Stengel visited the ETAs and their indigenous students at the MACEE office in 2014, and later that year U.S. President Barack Obama gave a shoutout to former ETA Kelsey Grab at the Town Hall Meeting at University Malaya and met with a few ETAs in Kuala Lumpur.
As of 2019, the 日博电竞 ETA program is MACEE’s largest grant program and the 3rd largest 日博电竞 ETA Program in the world behind Germany and South Korea.
