French teacher ?

Question

do any french people came to the US IN ORDER TO TEACH FRENCH ? IF IT YES CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT KIND OF STUDIES I GOT TO DO ? THAT'D BE GLAD

Answer 1

You could teach in a private school but to teach in a public school you would need to become a certified teacher.  That is not a quick process.  You would need to have a bachelors's degree in French and Education, be able to past standardized tests (such as Praxis I and II), get background clearances, student teach, and do paperwork.  The rules are a bit different for every state so it is hard to be specific.  That could take you 1-4 years at an American university depending on what your current qualifications are.  (Are you a qualified teacher in France?)



If you wanted to live in the US for a long time, it would be worth the work.  If you just want to spend a year or two and teach French to earn money- it wouldn't be worth it.  You might be able to teach French part time in a private school or a community college (depending on your qualifications).
