English Toolbox Tips

A rather stunning reversal of past policy. Excerpts:

Lessons will concentrate on oral English, a fundamental change as most of France's official examinations are written tests. Classes will be taught by teachers who volunteer to work during the holidays in return for tax-free overtime or by English students from abroad... "The world has changed and France has realized it has to change with it. More and more students are spending a year studying in an anglophone country. They realize it looks good on their CV that they can speak English," [an education expert] said.

Mon Dieu!
