  • encouraging students to practise English or French, using games and real-life situations in a respectful and creative way.
  • sharing your culture and its unique features through activities.
  • leading classroom activities with the teacher, or working with small groups of two to 10 students.
  • participating in evening and weekend cultural activities.
  • performing your tasks in a virtual setting when required.
