Just a general remark: I'm sure that getting a law degree in a French university would entail that you have a very good command of French. However, teaching a language well requires more than just knowing how to use the language. One should be acquainted with grammar, semantics, pragmatics and many other intricacies in order to be able to come up with ways to explain and illustrate them to the learners. In my experience, the most frustrating language teacher is the one that after asking why or how a given feature in the language works, just says something along the lines of "this is just how it is, learn it by heart". Sure, s/he probably knows how to do it but how does that help me, the learner? Knowing the language is one thing and passing it on to others is another.Woods wrote:I've studied law in France and I haven't finished it. But if I had, that would be more than proof that I speak excellent French, and I would have the master's degree as well (after four years) - so why not being allowed to teach without having studied French as a subject?
