Do you want to speak and write French at 'near-native' level? After completing our part-time Teacher Education in French Master programme, the French language won't hold any secrets for you!  You will also have developed a critical approach to language education and will be ready to put this into practise.

This master programme prepares you to teach French language and literature to the higher classes of Dutch higher secondary and tertiary education (HAVO, VWO and HBO in Dutch). Instead of spending a great deal of time in-class, you will be spending most of your time in front of it, teaching teens and young adults at the school where you work. The combination of one day a week at HU, and the rest of the week actually teaching makes for an ideal combination.
