I want to be a lectrice forever.

Filed under Teaching English & Other Languages {10 comments}

I love my job!

I work with three classes in the labs: Vocabulary, Pronunciation and Business English. In all of them, I can spy on the students with my headset and make sure they are actually doing the lessons and using English. (I have ALL the power!!!) For vocab class, I’m redoing the weekly HTML lessons with a new style sheet, graphics and layout as well as adding mp3s for all of the main words. The pronunciation class is all IPA goodness. And the business English class is also a translation course so it gives me a chance to learn business French. Basically, I’m in geeky English-French technology-based language-teaching-and-learning heaven.

Even the commute isn’t bad because I get to drive next to this pretty lake 4 days a week.

Life is good.

    I wish that I had a masters so I could do this job. I’m sure that teaching university students is soo much better than teaching primary kids like what I’m doing. Glad that you’re having a good time with it!

    @katie – you can, i did. just make sure you’ve got on your CV “bac +4″ because you DID 4 years of a BA in the US. It’s not lying, its describing what you did the most accurately.

    Is a BA the equivalent of an M1? probably not, but Bac +4 worked for me :-)

    Hi Karina,
    Sorry to be bothering you, I was just wondering.. about the lectrice positions, I will have bac +3 in one month and I spent two years in France -one of which I spent as an assistante d'anglais. Would that qualify? as I could put it down as experience. Or if not, do you think a TEFL course would count as 1 year of university, (could it be a bac +1? )
    I would appreciate any advice you could give me! :)
