    Teaching assistants in France are foreigners granted temporary work visas to teach their native languages in French public schools. English, Spanish, and German language assistants are the most common.

    This guidebook serves current, potential, and past teaching assistants in France. (For those of us who have already served our terms, helping those who follow can be therapeutic.) It strives to assemble in one place, and improve upon, information useful to assistants — perhaps to any foreigner living in the Hexagon.

    In this guidebook you will learn about being an assistant: the application and acceptance process, the paperwork, teaching and eventually leaving. You will also learn about traveling on a budget in Europe.

    Currently, much of the information in this guide is geared towards American English assistants. Being a Wiki, we hope that it will grow to accommodate everyone in program, eventually spanning languages.

    Some teaching assistants in the program do not go to France at all; they go to overseas departments such as Guadeloupe . If you're one of them, you'll find this guide needs a whole new chapter: please write it!
