LOOKING FOR PARTNERSHIP WITH AN ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRY IN EUROPE
 

 

HI EVERYBODY
I teach English in a french school and I �m looking for a partnership with a British school. My pupils are between 14 and 16 and they practise european english which means they have two extra hours of english a week (so a total of 5 hours a week). If you teach French and are  interested, please let me know.
 
Thanks to all of you.

Hi, Anne!

Can you tell me what "european english" is? Is is so at all French schools?
At my school students between 12 - 15 usually have 90m+45m a week (or even less in the 8th grade, that is 90m/week)!

Thanks

Alexandra

Hi Alexandra
 
In France the number of hours in English is 4 hours  the first year of �college � and three hours the three following years. But During the third year the pupils can take an optional two hour class which is called �European English �. During these two hours they practise oral English mainly but also civilisation and things which are related to English speaking countries. The aim is not to teach them grammar, which is done during the 3 common hours. it �s only an option. It �s a time when pupils between 14 and 16 can learn English with fun or more serious topics such as drugs, aids, but also music, movies, videos, comics.....
Hope my answer will help you understand the French system.
