Cultural Services of the French Embassy Teaching Assistant Program in France

Description

The Teaching Assistant Program in France offers you the opportunity to work in France for 7 months, teaching English to French students of all ages. Applicants must be proficient in French. To be eligible to apply to TAPIF, you must be a native speaker of English and prove you have at least a B1 or higher on the CEFR Scale. You must submit an outside evaluation of your French skills: either a recommendation from a university French professor or teacher from the Alliance Francaise, or scores from a standardized French-language test. Students from all fields of study are encouraged to apply. If you do not have a university major or minor in French, you may still apply if you have developed at least a basic proficiency in French (approximately 3 semesters of college French as a general guideline) and/or if you have lived abroad in a Francophone country. Americans may participate a maximum of 3 times in the TAPIF program. If you are applying for an assistantship for a consecutive year, you will need to apply to renew your contract through France Education International. Please visit the program's website for more information.
