Ive never taught before, how will I be able to stand up in front of a class of 25 French pupils and do a good job for the first time?!
When you arrive in Vende in September you and the other stagiaires will undertake two weeks unpaid training course with Julie Legre. During this period you will become familiar with the French teaching system, the various teaching materials at your disposal and methods that will form a basis to your teaching throughout the year. You will also be given a detailed syllabus that will form the structure of each lesson. Despite all this, it is probably true to say that your first test lesson (immediately after your two weeks training) will not be your best lesson by far and you may make many mistakes. Julie and the other stagiaires will be observing at the back of the class, most probably with a camcorder at hand filming your first hour in a classroom. This will undoubtedly add to any feelings of intimidation you may have had before, but will prove invaluable in a post-lesson analysis with constructive criticism of each stagiaires teaching. The team will later analyse the strengths and weak
