The degree is a requirement for immigration to process your work visa. It could be in basket weaving for all immigration and NOVA cares.
Most new teachers arrive here with no training or previous teaching experience whatsoever and get some basic instruction in teaching methodology when you arrive in the country. You will probably mentor with one of the veteran French teachers and observe some classes before getting students of your own (about a week after you get here, they dont muck around).
Im not aware of any courses to teach French as a Foreign language but the same principles hold true for French as they do for English when teaching a lesson . Students here lack input and exposure to spoken language so you will mainly teach them conversation patterns. Grammar is included but is usually weaved into a lesson and not taught explicitly. Students dont learn French at school so you will be teaching raw beginners, false beginners (can read and write but not speak it) and anything up to fluent non-native speakers. Students simply need lots of speaking practice and lots of chance to hear and use the language they are learning. The text book you use will do most of the work for you as well as cassette tapes and CDs etc. |
