CN LA programme guidelines

As a Chinese Language Assistant (CN LA) you will usually be working in a secondary school either assisting the language teacher with the language classes or teaching small groups on your own. Your role will be to improve your students' confidence in communicating in Chinese and help classes to become more interactive and fun by discussing contemporary aspects of youth culture in China such as current affairs, education, sport, fashion, films, TV, lifestyles and celebrations. You will do this by planning activities and games and using photos, travel guides and maps as well as texts from newspapers or the Internet.

At the same time, you will improve your language skills, learn how to become a more effective communicator and experience living and working in the UK.

We have a small number of posts in primary schools, sixth-form colleges and of further and higher education.
