We have long known the value that language assistants can bring to any classroom, and every year we hear about how much difference a language assistant can make to the learning experience of students across the UK. In 2019-20, 91% of institutions have said that hosting a Modern Language Assistant increased their students’ cultural awareness.
To ensure language and culture can continue to be brought to life in modern language classrooms across the UK, we have had to adapt for 2021-22. We value access and have looked at ways to keep providing opportunities in an everchanging world since 1905.
Please find information on your options for hosting a Modern Language Assistant in 2021-22 below and in the relevant subpages. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
