|
|
Hello all,
After two years in France with my French husband, I�ve finally received my permit de sejour, with the ability to work. As an American with a BA in art history, I�m facing the daunting task of trying to find work here at the end of the world in the Arcachon bay. Right now I�m trying to figure out how to fund a certificate program, but it�s difficult without a job. I have two questions:
1) Has anyone had any success with having the ANPE fund any kind of tefl certificate program, or is there any equivalent offered by the French government?
2) Do I send my resume and cover letter out for teaching/tutoring jobs in English or French?
Any information anyone has would be helpful. Thanks. |

1) Never heard of anybody getting a TEFL course funded by the ANPE. It wouldn't hurt to ask them, but to find teaching work in France a TEFL is almost never necesary. The equivalent of a "licence" often is. Besides, I don't think most French employers, even in language schools, have ever heard of TEFL.
2) If I'm responding to an ad in English, I put everything in English. If the ad's in French, everything goes in French. I even put my last name in all caps. Likewise, if I send an unsolicited application, all in French. My interviews have always been in French too, unless the interviewer is a native English speaker.
Good luck out there in the back of beyond. |
