British Council Scotland

Language Assistant programme

What we do

We work together with partner organisations overseas to provide opportunities for people to work in schools as language assistants both in Scotland and in 18 countries around the world.

Assistants gain professional experience, improve their foreign language skills, and have the chance to explore the culture of their destination country at the same time as bringing their own language and culture alive for the students they work with.
