So What Do You Want to Do For a Living?

As English instructors, we are in the privileged position of helping students improve their skills in English, while also exploring other areas of knowledge that they can apply to their personal or professional lives. My presentation focused on how to incorporate career planning materials into English classes, allowing students to think about their own professional goals, as well as learning about differences between career planning in France and English-speaking countries. The use of such materials in development of the four skills was also discussed, drawing on my experiences with engineering students in a grande école.
