Description
The Teaching Assistant Program in France (CIEE overview) offers you the opportunity to work in France for 7 months, teaching English to French students of all ages. Each year, over 1,500 American citizens and permanent residents teach in public schools across all regions of metropolitan France and in the overseas departments of France such as French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique and Réunion. The American cohort is part of the larger Assistants de langue en France program, which recruits approximately 4,500 young educators from 60 countries to teach 15 languages annually in France.
The Teaching Assistant Program in France (TAPIF) has several eligibility criteria for applicants. Here are the key requirements:
- Age: Applicants must be between 20 and 35 years old at the time of application.
- Citizenship: Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents (for the U.S. program; other countries have similar programs through their embassies).
- Education: Applicants must have completed at least three years of university-level education by the start of the program.
- French Proficiency: Applicants must demonstrate at least an intermediate level of French, equivalent to B1 on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). This means you should be able to handle daily tasks and communicate effectively in French.
- English Proficiency: Applicants must be native English speakers
