English Speakers Wanted!!
If you've made it to this page, it probably means you are fluent in English... which probably means that you are from another country. Believe it or not, the simple fact that you speak English and that you are a foreigner makes you an instant hit with kids!!
Kids?... Yes, kids. Every year, the French-American Center organizes mini conferences in schools in and around Montpellier. We always pick a theme for the conference and this year its "The History of American Music".
Click here to see some pictures of previous visits.
WE NEED YOU!! Every time we do a conference (about once a month), we take along as many english speaking people as we can to come, meet the kids, speak some English to them, share their different cultures, and have fun.
So if you would be interested in spending some very rewarding time with us in Montpellier schools, give us a call here at the Center. You can ask for Jeanette... 04 67 92 30 66
The following is a small testimonial from Kira who volunteered at the Center in 2005:
My experience with the center was better than I could have ever expected. Working there helped me meet many different types of French people ranging from the ages of 2-60! Meeting, talking, and working with them really broadend my ideas of what "French" is. It was so excellent to work with people who were so open about different cultures. I also loved being able to be responsible for projects. It was so much fun to go into the high school and talk to high school kids about American life and break down their ideas of what it was. To do this I contacted people on the MN program to see who would be interested in going to the high schools. Doing this also allowed me to make more contacts with people on my program. I also loved helping out in little kid english classes! It was frustrating at first since it is difficult to teach English to little kids! And I didnt understand their French that well, but after awhile it got easier. One of my favorite things to do was helping to organize the elections breakfast. I got to be interviewd on the radio and tv! It felt good to be a part of something important and meaningful. I was suprised by how many people showed up for the breakfast! I'm glad I had the oppurtunity to offer my fellow students a place to watch the American elections and allow the French to see how Americans really felt about American politics. Besides those things, working with Jeanette was fun, just helping her out with her projects. I feel so lucky to have had such a great oppurtunity. Kira Wickman. 2005
Thanks Kira!!
