Language assistants program in Spain 2013-2014

The language and culture assistants program is an initiative of the Spanish Ministry of Education. The program is primarily devoted to providing scholarships for Australian university students –majoring in any subject-and graduates with some proficiency in Spanish.

Its main objective is to provide Australian native English speaking university students with the opportunity to teach English in Spain in primary, secondary and language schools (12/16 hours a week).

Students will spend a full academic year, from October to June in Spain. Preferred placement in different Spanish regions can be requested. The language assistants receive a scholarship to cover accommodation expenses, (between 700 and 1000 euros monthly), an orientation course and full medical insurance.  Travel costs to and from country of origin will be the responsibility of the scholarship recipient. Candidates must be Australian nationals, posses a university degree or be in their final bachelor’s year at the end of the current academic year and be native speakers of English.

For next school year 2013-2014 the on line application period is: 10 January – 2 April, 2013.
