✨2026-2027 TEACH Fellowship in Taiwan✨

The ✨TEACH Fellowship✨ (Teach English Abroad and Change Happens), launched in 2023 by the Association of International Cultural and Educational Exchange Taiwan (AICEE), invites passionate teachers from Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the UK, and the US to teach in K-12 schools across Taiwan.

The program aims to create a bilingual and culturally immersive learning environment, enhancing Taiwanese students’ English skills and promoting global cultural exchange. By fostering collaboration between native English-speaking and Taiwanese educators, TEACH Fellowship develops innovative teaching methods and curriculum. It also enriches cross-cultural understanding, benefiting both teachers and local communities.

Participants will collaborate with local educators to develop innovative curricula and effective teaching methods, contributing to the educational landscape of Taiwan. Join us in shaping a multicultural future for education in Taiwan!
