This programme promotes the quality of language teaching, by incorporating language assistants to Spanish schools that collaborate in the learning of foreign languages.

Likewise, it promotes Spanish language and culture through the experience acquired by the language assistants in Spain when returning to their countries of origin. Moreover, it also has an impact on Spanish teachers by allowing their integration into bilateral educational programmes, promoting the exchange of experiences, the improvement of linguistic skills and knowledge of other cultures.

The corresponding authorities assign the assistants to the different educational centers, where they will develop their practice as language assistants during Spanish lessons, under the supervision of a tenured teacher. The languages taught are German, Chinese, French, English, Italian and Portuguese.
