Conversion Table EC
How can I obtain EC from the Language Assistant Role?
- You will receive 3 hours in total for each appointment you make with a student (see the table below for EC equivalents).
- At the end of your internship, you will write a brief report in which you will reflect on the organisation of the internship and the (language) problems you have encountered. You should explain how you have addressed these problems and why you used the strategies you selected. Would you do it differently now? What have you learned during the internship? How was it beneficial culturally or socially? The importance of your report depends on the number of EC you wish – see this page on “Internship/Reflection Report” for more information.

Can I participate if I don’t need or want EC?
Of course! In this case, you will receive a recommendation letter attesting to your internship. In the past, these letters have proved to be very useful additions to your CV. Note that you will still have to write a reflection report (albeit shorter) and to register the appointments.
