PGCE French info

[L00b]

European Baccalaureat is <...>

As I thought, then - within a (specifically) French context, it is not 'the' Baccalauréat.

 

I'd go along with LeMaquis, as general advice goes: a (short) language course at SHU isn't going to level you up to the degree of fluency likely to be expected for a PGCE.

 

I would however mitigate to 6 months to a year, rather than a year or two, considering the level you previously achieved - once you get the language "back in your ear", it won't take long at all to achieve fluency. Just make sure you go for total immersion (no english, or your native language -if not English-, around for that period).

You need a first degree in French and a 2:1 to even be considered for entry onto a PGCE to teach it, in addition to some experience in the classroom. In fact, to do any PGCE you will need a 2:1 minimum.

Hi ,

 

Thanks for your reply ,but I am sure is not compulsory a degree in French.People change their career path everyday with various academic qualifications.Getting into teaching has so many various routes.Also I looked on gttr and many universities accept minimum of 2: 2 .I am aware that the French I studied from 4th grade until 12th grade ,almost 8 years ago is not enough,but after some school experience and a French Module/Course I will apply next year.

To do a PGCE to train you to teach at secondary level, you need a first degree in the subject that you plan on teaching in. If you want to set up as a private tutor, then you will have to convince the parents of your charges that your French is up to it. However, you will not get a job in a secondary school teaching French unless you have a degree in it, never mind get on a PGCE.
