What is a language assistant?

Every year, the Ministry of Education and Science of Spain provides grants to 1000 University graduates from all over Canada and the United States. These grantees, known as North American Language and Culture Assistants, work 12 hours per week for 8 months (October-May) as assistant teachers in a Spanish school. For 2007, the monthly allowance provided by the grant is 631 Euros per month, including paid holidays at Christmas and Easter.
