Summary

Simon ROYE simonroye@yahoo.fr Tel: +90 531 654 22 06 Beijing, [insert date] Subject: Application for the Position of French Language Teacher – Beijing, September 2025 Dear Hiring Committee, With over fifteen years of experience teaching French as a Foreign Language (FLE) in diverse international contexts—including Turkey, Kazakhstan, and Armenia—I am writing to express my strong interest in the position of French Language Teacher at your institution in Beijing, beginning September 2025. I hold a Master's degree in French as a Foreign Language from the University of Grenoble Alpes, as well as a Master’s in Information and Communication from the University of Bordeaux Montaigne. I have worked with learners from early childhood through adulthood and am well-versed in curriculum design, communicative and action-oriented pedagogies, and the integration of digital tools (Zoom, Moodle, Genially, etc.). My teaching methods are grounded in student engagement, cultural immersion, and academic excellence—principles I have applied successfully both in the classroom and through extracurricular projects such as theater clubs, creative writing workshops, and media production activities. My passion for education is matched by a commitment to international cooperation. As a former volontaire international with the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I served as a pedagogical coordinator at the French University in Armenia and later managed the digital platforms for the French Embassy in Kazakhstan. These experiences strengthened my dedication to promoting French language and culture while working in multicultural, mission-driven environments. Trilingual in French, English, and Russian, and proficient in German and Turkish, I am confident in my ability to foster intercultural dialogue, contribute to your international exchange programs, and actively support students' linguistic and personal growth. I am fully prepared to relocate, hold a valid passport, and meet all the requirements for a Z visa application. I am available for an interview at your convenience and can begin in September 2025. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to join your team and contribute to the vibrant educational community in Beijing. Yours sincerely, Simon ROYE
