    Show Your French Teaching Craft Beyond the CV

    For a French teacher role at an international school, hiring managers look for native fluency, pedagogical training, and the ability to implement a structured curriculum. Your application should demonstrate how you bring the French language to life in a classroom setting.

    1. Highlight native fluency: Emphasize that you are a native French speaker, and provide evidence of your language proficiency, such as DELF/DALF certifications or experience teaching in francophone environments. Mention any experience with French literature or culture that enriches your teaching.

    2. Showcase your teaching credentials: Since PGCE or MA in Education is a must, clearly state your certification and any relevant training. Detail how your education background has prepared you to handle diverse classrooms and implement curricula like SABIS.

    3. Demonstrate curriculum implementation: Give examples of how you have used structured lesson plans and pacing charts in previous roles. Mention your familiarity with point systems or similar reward-based classroom management strategies.

    4. Prepare for classroom scenarios: Be ready to discuss how you handle low-performing students, manage exam invigilation, and collaborate with academic quality controllers. Prepare specific anecdotes that show your proactive approach.

    5. Emphasize teamwork and communication: Highlight your ability to work within a team, as the role involves coordinating with student life coordinators and other teachers. Provide examples of successful collaboration in past positions.

    6. Show your tech proficiency: Since MS Office is required, mention your comfort with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Explain how you use these tools for lesson planning, grading, and communication.

    7. Align with the school's philosophy: Research SABIS® methodology and incorporate its principles into your application. Show that you understand the point system and are committed to student success.

    8. Polish your interview performance: Expect questions about your teaching philosophy and how you motivate students. Practice delivering a mini-lesson in French to demonstrate your teaching style and classroom presence.
