Call for Applications: The Teaching Assistant Program in France (TAPIF)

From now until February 28, 2025, apply for the Teaching Assistant Program in France (TAPIF), one of Villa Albertine's longest running and most sought-after programs.

TAPIF is the American iteration of the worldwide Programme des Assistants de langue en France managed by FEI. Each year, the program places around 1,300 Americans into French public schools to work as English language teaching assistants for 12 hours a week,

TAPIF works with France Éducation international (FEI) to place language assistants in classrooms of all ages across metropolitan France, French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, and La Réunion.

The seven-month contracts, which can be renewed twice (consecutively or not), enable young adults to gain valuable classroom experience, improve their French language skills, and immerse themselves in the francophone world.

After completing the TAPIF program, Teaching Assistants pursue global careers in education, international business, public health, international policy and development, arts and culture administration, and more.

All TAPIF alumni gain access to generous scholarships with our partner universities in the US and France for MA and PhD studies in French, Lingustics, Business, and more!

Accepted applicants may repeat the program a total of three times.
