Dear colleagues,

The application deadline for the English language teaching assistant program in New Caledonia is in less than a week: applications are due by 14 September 2015! I would be grateful if you could pass on the following information to your students as this program is a wonderful opportunity to discover New Caledonia, immerse oneself in its culture, perfect one’s language skills, and gain valuable professional experience.

In short:

  • The program is aimed at students who intend to become language teachers, as well as to those who simply have a passion for everything French!
