Language Assistants Program

For more than 30 years, the British Council has run a reciprocal Language Assistant programme with the province of Québec. Each year, over 40 UK and Québec students participate in the exchange. Selected students are stationed at schools in towns and cities across different regions where they live and teach for a year. They share their language skills and benefit from the enriching cultural exchange.
