Teaching in France as a non-native English speaker

Unread postby Flowerpower » Thu Apr 05, 2012 3:42 pm

Dear all,

I'm planning to go to France by the end of the summer to get my TEFL degree in order to work as an English teacher for some time. I'm not a native speaker (I'm Dutch). I'd preferably teach English at universities or companies. I have a degree in international law and a few years of work experience as a consultant (I've heard having a degree helps if you wish to teach at a university/company). I do wonder though what my chances are finding a job as a non-native speaker...or whether I would only be hired at language schools in order to teach kids (no offence to those of you who do that, I have great respect for you, but this is not really my thing)

Another question: I'd love to work in the south of France (specifically Aix-en-Provence). Does anyone have experience working/living there?

Thank you in advance for your reactions! And am open to all your suggestions...
