Hone Your French Skills in France
Continue developing your French language skills through opportunities to work or study in France.
Teach English in France
The Teaching Assistant Program in France (TAPIF) gives you the opportunity to spend seven months in France teaching English to students of all ages. You’ll use and strengthen your French while experiencing life in metropolitan France or one of France’s overseas departments, including French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, and Réunion.
Study in France in English
You can also pursue a degree in France without studying primarily in French. Universities across France offer an increasing number of degree programs taught mostly or entirely in English, giving you the opportunity to continue your education while living in a French-speaking environment.
