Teaching...or on my way.

Here at Stonehill College, I'm a French major and a Secondary Education minor...and I'm a junior. Which all means that I need to start getting everything planned out.

I took my French MTEL exam today. If I pass, I'll be certified to teach French in grades 5-12 in Massachusetts. Cross your fingers.

I'm really absolutely confident and surprised at how comfortable I was taking the test. There were 100 multiple choice about listening comp, reading comp, grammar, French culture, history and second language acquisition (whew) and a written response section as well as an oral response, where I had to talk into a tape recorder for 2 minutes about a book I would recommend to a friend.

My time in France, all the courses I've taken, the blogs I follow, poetry I love and the songs I listen to all played a part in my preparation for this test. It's crazy to think of how much time I put into "studying" without even planning to take this test...starting with the "mot du jour" in 5th grade French class.

Bisous,

Erica
