Specializations and job openings
Specializations – A brief overview
From the second semester of the second year of the degree onwards, LLCER students are invited to choose a specialization, in the form of two teaching units per semester. In order to be coherent pedagogically speaking, students cannot change their specialization between their second year and their third year. The aim is to discover a business sector in order to prepare further studies and therefore it aims at professionalization. Five specializations are offered, respectively on the campuses of Nancy or Metz.
Specializations related to teaching
The “Teaching” specialization is divided into four choices:
-
The “Secondary Education and Research” specialization (in Nancy) aims at teaching English in secondary education and at university, as well as at academic research. This specialization prepares students for the examinations for secondary school postings, such as the French CAPES and agrégation of English. This specialization enables students to continue their studies at the master’s level in what is called in France a MEEF master’s (related to education and teaching), or even in the “Langues et Sociétés” Master’s, oriented towards the English-speaking worlds and jobs related to books, texts and materialities.
