We are pleased to announce the opening of the application season for the 2014-2015 Teaching Assistant Program in France. This program, sponsored by the French Ministry of Education and the Cultural Services of the French Embassy, offers young Americans the opportunity to live and work in France for 7 months with a salary, teaching English to French students of all ages. The program provides American Francophiles with teaching experience and first-hand knowledge of French language and culture, while also strengthening English-language instruction in French schools. Over 1,100 positions are available each year for U.S. citizens and permanent residents in metropolitan France as well as in the overseas departments of French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique and La Réunion.
