My new job!!
 

Hi ladies,

I'm so excited I wanted to share. I was accepted to be an Official Language monitor in Quebec for next school year! Well I already knew I was accepted but all the info just came in the mail...Lots of manuals and books. I'm hoping this will be a great experience! Teaching English to highschoolers in Quebec! yay!

The sad part is I'll be more than a 13 hour drive away from my sisters! :(

ok, i gotta go and look through my stuff now.

Yipee!!!

Jen

YAY!!
 

Congratulations from one Jen to another!!

sorry to crash your board! I'm pretty sure that a friend of mine did something like that a few years ago at McGill, & now he's teaching English in Japan & earning some great $$$ :)

Out of curiousity - how do you become an Official Language monitor? what does it all involved? sounds interesting!

Fraternally,
Jen

Congratulations Hun, U R gonna do a great job.

Thanks for the support! I can't wait to go...but I'm nervous too.

CanadaJen: I heard of the Monitor program at school...in our french dept. there was a part time monitor. So I took a look at the brochure and applied for a full time position.

I thought I did horrible in the interview since I totally went blank when they told me to explain English Canadian culture, speaking in French.....
I'll be doing more Lab type work than teaching, which I like, since teaching a whole class isn't my thing.
