Promoting the take-up of languages and student mobility

French host scheme for teachers

Region: 
West Midlands

Do you teach French or Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL)? Are you keen to share your experience and cultural views? Are you interested in setting up an exchange project between your school and a French school? The Short Professional Stay Programme is perhaps just what you need!

This programme offers the chance for your school to host a French teacher for a fortnight allowing it to benefit from the presence of a native speaker and hopefully helping to establish enduring contacts with a French school. What’s more, hosting the French participants won’t cost a single penny as the French government provides a special mobility grant to its citizens taking part. Also, UK French teachers would have the opportunity to spend a fortnight in a French school, get involved with the daily life of your host school, brush up your language skills and set up exchange projects.

To find out more about and to download an application form, go to www.ciep.fr/en/sejours-professionnels/index.php. The deadline for applications is 18 Mar 2011.
