Still, it is a fact that the semester is coming to a close, and soon the Fulbrighters here will begin to depart. (Actually, one (or two?) may already be gone as I type this...)
We sat down with Gazmend, Laura, and Shalom of the US Embassy to talk about our experiences, reflections, recommendations over a nice lunch (pizza and shopski salad).
For the Spring 2017 semester, the inbound Fulbrighters to Macedonia consisted of 4 Fulbright ETAs (English Teaching Assistants) and 1 Fulbright Scholar (moi). (There was a second Fulbright Scholar who was here during Fall semester - for 6 Fulbrighters in Macedonia total for this academic year.)
The Fulbright ETAs were based in
--Skopje: Aliya Chisti, ETA in Skopje. She was placed at Public primary school “Rajko Zhinzifov”, Çair, Skopje. Highlights included working on a 4-paragraph essay with her 8th graders that discussed how different communities in Macedonia can overcome their differences to work together.
--Tetovo: Katherine Bast, ETA in Tetovo. She was placed at Public secondary school "Mosha Pijade" in Tetovo and English Department at the State University of Tetovo.
--Bitola: Xeno Carpeneter, ETA in Bitola. He was placed at Public secondary school “Taki Daskalo” in Bitola.
--Veles: Samantha Easterling, ETA in Veles. She was placed at Public elementary school “Vasil Glavinov” in Veles. (Not pictured)
