Language Assistant Program in Spain: For Further Information Please Contact
The Language and Culture Assistant Program is an initiative of the Spanish Department of
Education. The program is primarily addressed to Finnish nationals with a Bachelor´s Degree, or in
their final year of studies, interested in Spanish language and culture, with an almost native English-
speaking ability. Assistants will spend a semester or a full academic year, October to June, in Spain.
Its main objective is to provide Finnish participants with the opportunity to assist English teachers in
primary, secondary and language schools (12-16 class periods per week). At the same time, this
program allows Spanish students the opportunity to get to know Finnish culture by interacting with
the assistants.
Language assistants receive a monthly stipend (about 700 -1000 euros a month) and an orientation
course upon arrival. Transportation from and to the country of origin will depend on selected
candidates.
For school year 2021-2022 applications online are open from January to April.
