hi everyone,
I'm doing spanish at uni and i'm thinking about being a spanish teacher, however, i've just looked into doing the PGCE and it seems like i can't get onto the course without A-level or above French. To be honest i hate french and I don't particularly want to teach it.
My questions are...
1) Do you think its worth taking another year or 2 out to get up to the required standard in french so i can get onto a PGCE course
2) how likely is it that i would end up teaching french and not the language i love.
I only found out today that i can't get onto the course without french and it pisses me off cos there is a shortage of language teachers and i feel that i could be good at it. now i'm just really disheartened.

Well there are Spanish teachers out there so it's more than likely you will be teaching Spanish (diligence and talent permitting). As for French, it would be a means to an end, but you might suck at it if you don't enjoy it. I would do it knowing that when I'm done I'll be teaching Spanish, which is what I wanted to do.

Don't be disheartened!!! Can you do another language apart from French? Many Uni's give you the chance to pick up a second language during your first and second years. So you'd have the chance to do another language in the 3 years you're at uni to get up to scratch on another language, before you get onto the PGCE. Just a thought...

I think they want everyone to have french cos its the main langauge in schools. I always knew my decision to do chem instead of french for a-level would come back to haunt me.
