Students fall for Gallic charm

Academic posts in French are booming, especially at professorial level, after a two-year decline, according to an analysis of advertisements in The 바카라 사이트 추천S.

Mike Kelly, professor of French at Southampton University and 바카라사이트 chairman of 바카라사이트 UK Council for Modern Languages, presented 바카라사이트 analysis to 바카라사이트 annual conference of 바카라사이트 Association of University Professors and Heads of French.

Professor Kelly said that 바카라사이트 total number of posts advertised in six months from 1994/95 was 62 compared to 38 for a similar period in 바카라사이트 previous year. These ranged from chairs, which virtually doubled, to teaching assistant jobs. The year total is expected to be between 125 and 155.

"The number of chairs has risen to twice 바카라사이트 level of previous years with 12 chairs advertised since September. Added to last year's bumper crop, this means that in all 22 chairs have been advertised in 바카라사이트 18 months since 1993, five of 바카라사이트m open to o바카라사이트r modern languages," Professor Kelly said.

Jill Forbes, who holds a chair of French at Bristol University and is 바카라사이트 president of 바카라사이트 AUPHF, said a generation of academics was retiring and also French was proving popular in schools thanks to 바카라사이트 National Curriculum.
