In view of the fact that modern language education has become a priority of both the French and the British Education Ministries, this page has been created to determine the level of interest amongst the teaching community for an organised one year exchange programme. The company Aleonor SARL (www.aleonor.fr) has been requested to conduct this survey on behalf of the French Ministry of Education (MJENR), in order to determine which of the following services teachers consider to be necessary in order to be able to conduct an exchange under acceptable conditions. The information gathered is used for statistical purposes only and will not be communicated to third parties without prior consent. Names and contact details are requested primarily in order to avoid duplication and ensure the reliable entry of data, but may in the future be used by Aleonor SARL to contact participants to propose services which would assist them in the preparation and organisation of their exchange. This questionnaire should only be completed by UK or Irish qualified or trainee teachers, interested in the possibility of a one year overseas exchange programme. It applies to teachers at any stage in the curriculum, from nursery through to university education.
