Language Assistant Programme

We work together with our partner organisations overseas to provide opportunities for young people to work as language assistants both in the UK and 20 countries around the world. We aim to improve both the language ability of the assistants and students in addition to expanding their cultural awareness.

If you are interested in becoming an English Language Assistant abroad, or a French, German, Spanish, Italian or Chinese assistant in the UK, or you are working in a UK school and want to find out more about employing an assistant, this is the place to start.  

In 2005-2006 we sent over 2,000 English Language Assistants overseas and hosted more than 2,700 Foreign Language Assistants in the UK. Take a more detailed look at our statistics.
