Every year, around 2,500 language assistants from the UK support the teaching of English in 14 countries around the world. We offer the opportunity to teach English overseas on a paid six-month or one-year placement working as a language assistant.

As an English Language Assistant, you will strengthen your CV, improve your fluency in another language, gain a number of skills including communication, presentation, time management, organisation, teamwork, and problem-solving, immerse yourself in another culture and improve your cultural awareness and develop professional confidence.

Applications for the 2020-21 academic year are now closed. Applications for the 2021-2022 academic year will open later in the year.
