CAPES students should consult this page regularly ; there will be information for them here both on the 'Epreuve sur Dossier' and on 'Thème'. Your questions and comments will be posted here, and I will also put up a working translation for each week's thème. You will also find the addresses of on-line dictionaries that you may find useful in your work.

You will also need to consult the I.O. to which I shall provide links where possible. A useful address for you is the Web Site of the SAES - and you will also find the addresses of several sites put up and maintained by University teachers who are involved in preparing students for the CAPES and of sites maintained by school-teachers which will give you some ideas of the kind of work that you could do with authentic documents and of the projects that professional English teachers construct with and for their pupils. The English Department of the Université de Tours has now put up a web-site on Poverty in England which is worth a visit.

You will also find it useful to consult the material on this site for the Didactique course for Licence students. Even if you followed this course while doing your degree at the UVSQ, you will find that it has changed ; the old lectures remain, however, and you may find it useful to revise. Use the 'Didactics' link at the head of this page.

To see the most recent Official Instructions on the CAPES, and to consult recent 'sujets', visit the English Dept of the University of Pau, maintained by Pierre Busuttil. There is also a good collection of dictionaries and encyclopaedias on this site.
