Foreign Language Assistant Scheme
The Foreign Language Assistant (FLA) scheme aims to provide additional support to school communities to experience the target language and its culture with a native speaker.
Through the scheme, schools can apply to host assistants who speak French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish. PPLI plays a key role in supporting the teaching and learning aspect of the FLA scheme.
