OVERVIEW
The Master MEEF is a graduate programme which prepares students to teach English as a Foreign Language (EFL) or Modern Foreign Language (MFL) in French secondary schools (lower secondary collges or upper secondary lyces). To obtain a position as tenured high school teacher in France (professeur titulaire), applicants must pass a competitive exam (the CAPES and/or Agrgation) and fulfill all the requirements for a masters degree. From September 2013, new masters degrees in education following a standard format for all disciplines are offered through a new institution: the Ecole Suprieure du Professorat et de lducation (ESPE). The MEEF programme in English is designed to prepare students to take the CAPES competitive exams (written: March; oral: June) provide professional EFL/MFL preparation for future English teachers. Students planning to take the Agrgation should consult http://unice.fr/lettres/departements/anglais/concours/agregation.

GENERAL STRUCTURE
The general structure of MEEF masters degree programmes involves 5 main blocs: Disciplinary knowledge (disciplinaire) Didactics or pedagogy (didactique) Research (recherche) Teaching profession (culture commune, lexercice du mtier) Teaching practice (mise en situation professionnelle) The English MEEF in the Acadmie of Nice is organised in four sections: 1. disciplinary knowledge, 2. didactic knowledge, 3. teaching profession and 4. teaching practice and research.

ADMINISTRATIVE FORMALITIES
The MEEF and the CAPES are interdependent insofar as both are required of future teachers: you cannot take the CAPES oral exams without holding an M1 qualification you cannot become a tenured English teacher without passing the CAPES even if you have a full masters degree you cannot become a tenured English teacher without a full masters degree even if you pass the CAPES. Students must enroll both for the MEEF programme (which gives access to courses preparing for the CAPES exams) with the English Department at the Humanities faculty (LASH) and via the new ESPE, and then sign up to take the CAPES exams themselves. LASH (M1 enrollment, 15-23 July, or from 26 August 2013) MEEF (ESPE application, submission date: 26 August 2013) CAPES (site du ministre, session 2014)

CAPES EXAMS
