LANGUAGE ASSISTANTS POSITIONS

Do you wish to improve your English while finding out about the United-Kingdom and its culture? Are you interesting in teaching? If so, the French Language Assistants programme might be for you.


WHAT IS THIS PROGRAMME ABOUT?

The French language assistants programme in the UK belongs to a bilateral exchange programme between France and the UK allowing French students preparing a “licence” of English language to improve their knowledge while enjoying a one year stay in the country.


WHAT WILL BE MY ROLE?

Your role will be to work with the teacher in the classroom or on your own with small groups of students in order to help them gain confidence in your language. It is also a good chance for them to learn more about the culture in your country.


HOW TO APPLY

Candidates can find out how to apply from their university teachers or their UFR secretariat who have application forms. All applications, fully completed, must be returned to the teachers or the UFR secretariat before the end of January.

For more information, please contact

the CIEP (Centre International d’Etudes Pédagogiques) which administers this programme on behalf of the French Ministry of Youth, Education and Research.

read the language assistant positions web pages in the British Council corporate site. They contain useful information such as conditions of pay, how to apply, accommodation etc… as well as tips and teaching material for lesson preparation.

I you are a British national and would like to apply to work as British language assistants in France, find out all you need to know on the website for English Language Assistants.


HOW CAN I GET A UNIVERSITY-BASED LECTEUR/LECTRICE POSITION ?

The lecteur/lectrice positions in universities are usually offered as part of an exchange system between institutions. Candidates must have at least a “licence” and be enrolled in a French university.

Candidates can if they wish apply independently of this exchange system by sending their application on spec directly to French departments of British universities. A selection of these departments and their contact details can be found by doing a search on websites such as UCAS or Hobsons. However, as the number of lecteur/lectrice positions is generally quite low, it is rare that independent applications are successful.
