Bonjour M. le Prof d'Anglais... I live near Avignon where I currently work as an english language assistant but I would love to pass the Capes and become a Prof d'anglais. However, all my French friends here are convinced that this would be almost impossible as French is not my native language. My written French is better than most of the French people I know... but is this enough?? Help!
Well, lizzie, I'm a non native speaker, I arrived in France with basic schoolboy French and ,anaged to get the Capes after just two years. So I'd advise you to go for it.
However, make sure you do some preparation - sign up for a course, even a distance learning one like the CNED. Don't just read the books and go into the exam cold.
MPA left Blighty for the land of cheese, wine and TGVs to start a new life with Mme le Prof and embark on a new career teaching English in France. Here's hoping the latter won't shorten the former.

Merci beaucoup, Mlle l'assistante d'anglais

Thankyou for your advice! I've just enrolled for IUFM for next year - fingers crossed!!
