how to become a french teacher

Hiya,
I'm french and i'd like to become a french teacher but in the UK. Yet, the only problem is that i dunno how i can do it, i don't know where to study french, i mean is there any universities where french is taught ?
And when i'm graduate, what have i to do to become a teacher ?
Does anyone know a website where i could get answers ?
Or does anyone know the answers ? :wink:
I was told i can become a french teacher for the UK by studying english in France with the FLE option ( french as a foreign language - Français Langue Etrangère ), though i'm not sure about it, and i would rather to study in the UK. ( I realy like Great Britain ).
That's it for the time being.

Thanks
I'm looking forward to get any answer.
see ya.

To become a teacher in the UK you can study French at most Universities in Britain once you graduate you can do a PGCE course (Post Graduate Certificate in Education) in French (again at any uni) Once you complete this you will be a teacher.

Ok, it seems to be easy :wink:
But i've another question, if i can't become what i want to, what kind of jobs cound i found with a french diploma ? Because i'm not sure that french is very used in an english-speaking country, innit ?
And otherwise, do you know where i could get information about the PGCE ? I mean both on the Internet and "in real life" ?

Thanks for responding anyway...
see ya.

If you're French you don't need to do a Fench degree here, you need to do a License Anglaise or a slightly lesser version of that (Matriasse Anglaise or something, I apologise for the spelling) and then you can teach French here. All the French teachers at my school are French and these are the qualifications they have.

Hmm, ok it's what i said in my first post, but i wasn't sure.
Well did they pass the PGCE in the UK or the CAPES in France ? ( if you don't know could you ask them plz, or even try to ask them their email adresses so that i can directly talk with them ? ).
Well now, i don't know if it's better to study in France or in The UK, i was told your universities are private and cost a lot of money, is it right ? And Btw, i could have problems with accomodation and so on ... But it must be great ...

Thanks

Salut!
moi j'ai fait un PGCE "Post Graduate Certificate in Education" c'est la même chose que le CAPES, plus facile et sur 1 an. Malheureusement il n'est aps reconnu en France si jamais tu veux rentrer en France. Mais l'enseignement en Angleterre est beaucoup plus difficile qu'en France, au cas tu aies enseigné en France... environ 25h par semaine, plus les heures d'études quand un prof est absent, plus la cantine à la récré et à midi:il n'y a pas de pions ici!
si tu as d'autres questions contacte-moi:

je connais 2 universités : Keele, dans le Staffordshire et Crewe dans le Cheshire mais il y en a plein d'autres!
