French Praxis

by Erich Heidrich

Oct 20, 2010

I have been teaching elementary for 10 years but my degrees are in French and German. I desperately want to teach my passion, French, but never can seem to find a teaching position in French. Is there a site that can assist me in this. Also, any recommendations on brushing up on grammar books, I need to take the French Praxis in a few months. Merci...See More
