Hi.

I am presently planning to make the move to another country next month to teach either English or French, but I would prefer French and I have difficulties finding information about French teaching positions.
I am interested in a few countries, so you may see this message on more than one board, I don�t mean to spam or anything like that.
I know these boards are mostly for English teaching discussions, but I think that a lot of you may be working in Universities or Language schools and may have some information about French teaching opportunities.

I am French-Canadian girl, fluent in both English and French. Let this be clear. I�ve been raised in both English and French. I am really fluent in both language but went it comes to grammar, orthography or just writing, I am more at ease in French because I did my early school years in English but did the more advanced studies in French.

I have a Bachelor and I know most people are a little bit concerned about the �Qu�b�cois� accent, but I traveled a lot and never had any problems with my accent and I can polish it a lot more that I already do when I have to.

What are the possibilities in the differents African countries I am planning to land on mid-November. I don�t mind just showing up and I have savings, but I would like advices on where I should look first to get a job teaching French. I wouldn�t mind doing English conversation classes too if it can help.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Most of the positions for English and French teachers are filled by Anglophone and Francophone Africans. Your chances of obtaining a position in Africa are much better if you are qualified to teach other subjects such as Maths and Science.
