I obtained a degree in Marketing and Languages in the UK before moving to France. When I arrived, I worked mostly in business within big companies such as Electrolux. I then decided to get into teaching because I wanted to switch careers and an opportunity came up. So, I started off teaching English in companies. What I find funny is that when I was in high school I wanted to become a teacher, then I went to university and discovered marketing and decided to get into the business field. Now, I\u2019m back to my initial plan! My teaching has always been linked to business, and that\u2019s why it makes sense to me to teach in a business school. I believe my background has a real added value because not only do I have the English competences but also the appropriate business vocabulary and experience that I can bring to my students here. I have been working at I\u00c9SEG for 11 years. I started teaching English courses only, then I also began to teach personal development courses. Now, I am the English track coordinator for all of the programs at the School. I thus have a team of nearly 40 people to manage. I am responsible for recruiting and planning courses.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><strong>What types of English courses do you teach at I\u00c9SEG?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I teach many different courses and I like the variety, that\u2019s what I find particularly interesting. I teach first-year students of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ieseg.fr\/en\/programs\/specialized-masters\/grande-ecole-programme-5-years\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Grande \u00c9cole Program<\/a>, and I really enjoy it because the students are just starting off at I\u00c9SEG and need a lot of help. I think they don\u2019t have a lot of opportunities to speak during English classes when they\u2019re in high school as they are in large groups. So, during their first year at I\u00c9SEG we try to make them feel more comfortable to speak in English. I also teach 2<sup>nd<\/sup> year students. For example, there is a class that I find particularly interesting called \u201cEnglish for debating\u201d, which is very focused on the oral techniques and how to convince people.<\/p>\n<p>In the Bachelor in International Business program we have developed a course, which is based on the fictitious organization of a music festival. Just like an interdisciplinary project, students have to use knowledge from other courses such as marketing, accounting, CSR, etc..<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><strong>Have you noticed an evolution in the teaching methods since your started teaching?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Yes, definitely! The first thing that has brought changes is technology. When I started 11 years ago, we were working with paper, whiteboards\u2026 now we\u2019re introducing more technologies to the teaching methods. The objective of our languages department this year was zero paper, to be in line with I\u00c9SEG\u2019s \u00a0objective to reinforce its approach to sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>The students have changed too. They\u2019re much more connected now, so we have to adapt by changing our teaching methods. I try to get students more involved in class and propose more interactive activities. The course format has also changed \u2013 now we have only one class per week but it is longer than it used to be.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><strong>Why did you choose I\u00c9SEG?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I like the fact that I\u00c9SEG is a <em>post-bac<\/em> school, which means that students are very young and just at the beginning of their studies and adult life. I feel in connection with I\u00c9SEG\u2019s values and it\u2019s important to me that the School is actually truly committed to its values. CSR, integrity, solidarity\u2026 all of these values are really important to me as I believe that the community is more important than the individual. It is also important for students to learn to work in teams for their future professional lives.<\/p>\n<p>I also enjoy the multicultural atmosphere at the School. Also, when I speak with colleagues, I have the impression that I\u00c9SEG is very well organized, and the professors appreciate the way they are welcomed into the team and supported. They\u2019re not left alone, they\u2019re provided with materials and it is very structured. I am a structured person, so it really matches my personality and way of working.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><strong>What do you like the most about being a professor at I\u00c9SEG?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I love working here because I can speak English all the time and I constantly meet people of different nationalities. I had never worked in a similar context before. Usually, everybody was French except me in the company. I can say that I\u00c9SEG takes care of its employees. We have a nice working environment, and we benefit from high tech equipment in the classrooms. The variety of what I do here is what I love the most, I wear a lot of hats: I teach, I manage a team, and I am also a coordinator for interdisciplinary projects and a pedagogical adviser. My role as pedagogical adviser is to try and help students who identify as being in academic difficulty. Of course, I enjoy the contact with the students and helping them, but I also like the global vision it gives me of the School, it provides me with a better understanding of the whole Bachelor program. I also participated in the redesign of the Bachelor cycle of the Grande \u00c9cole program and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ieseg.fr\/en\/programs\/bachelor-international-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bachelor in International Business<\/a> program. Also, seeing that students make progress provides a great feeling of satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, I really appreciated how the School managed during the pandemic. The lockdown was announced on a Thursday evening and the next Monday morning I was able to teach online. Over four days they trained everybody to use Zoom, including on the weekend, to make sure that on the Monday morning, all the teachers could start teaching.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With more than 700 professors, including 186 permanent professor-researchers, I\u00c9SEG offers to its students a high-quality learning experience, based on 4 key elements: an active, interdisciplinary learning process, focused on [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":51,"featured_media":142079,"menu_order":0,"template":"","news-category":[297],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.2 -
