Student Ambassadors required to act as Foreign Language Assistants in local schools
Routes into Languages Project – Foreign Language Student Ambassadors in Local Schools
Routes into Languages is a consortium of universities working together with schools and colleges, to enthuse and encourage people to study languages. It is a project funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England and the University of Lincoln is a member of the East Midlands Regional Consortium.
As such, we are looking for students who are native or near native speakers of French, German, Spanish and Italian to go into local schools to act as Teaching Assistants in languages classes under the direction of the teaching staff. The duties carry an hourly rate of pay and typically, a student would be required to spend one day (or morning/afternoon) in the school. Travel expenses will also be reimbursed.
This is a great opportunity for students to gain a closer insight into the current British education system, to gain valuable professional experience and, moreover, to enhance their cv’s with a view to future employment. To apply please contact Ian Scott in the Business School (iscott@lincoln.ac.uk), submitting a cv, together with your reasons for applying. Please note that because of the nature of the duties involving contact with children, applicants may be subject to a Criminal Records Bureau check.
