Information about the Language Resource Centre
The intern will work at the Language Resource Centre, a room located near the department of languages of Paul Sabatier University. Paul Sabatier University is specialized in sciences but our students have English classes as most of them will need to use English in their future professional careers if they work as technicians, engineers or researchers. Some of the students who already have a B2 level in English study Spanish or German instead.
The Language Resource Centre is equipped with computers, TV sets, DVD players and furnished with tables, chairs but also armchairs and bookcases containing magazines, novels, resources to prepare for the TOEIC and TOEFL tests...
Required Skills
- Language skills: as most students are French native speakers and study English, it is essential to be an English native speaker but also to have basic communication skills in French. A good command of other languages would be a plus.
- Tutoring skills: some experience or qualification in language teaching would be appreciated.
- Digital skills: some experience in event management and social media management would be useful. The intern will have to use communication tools such as Facebook and Moodle.
