French teacher at Bagsværd School

Are you passionate about French, language and culture, and can you inspire students to become curious about the language and want to use it? Then you might be our new colleague.

We are looking for a academically strong and engaged teacher of French across 6th-9th grade. This is a fixed part-time position with a 50% full-time equivalent.

You will become part of the upper school and will work closely with the school's other French teacher on teaching, academic progression and development of the French subject.

About the position

We want a teacher who is passionate about the French subject and about everything that comes with good language teaching: to spark curiosity, create courage to use the language and give students the experience that they can always do more.

You must be able to create inspiring, varied and academically ambitious teaching, where students meet both the language and the Francophone cultures in a lively and meaningful way.

It is important that you have an eye for the special aspects of teaching a foreign language and can plan teaching where students work with speaking, vocabulary, pronunciation, texts, culture and communication. At the same time, students must have the opportunity to listen, speak, read and write, experiment and experience the joy of gradually being able to express themselves in French.

You will become part of a closely collaborating team of teachers and pedagogues with a focus on students' learning, wellbeing and opportunities to participate.
