Bachelor in Licence - Lettres - Parcours Enseignement

At the Institut Catholique de Lyon in Lyon, France, the Licence - Lettres - Parcours Enseignement (Bachelor in Literature, Teaching track) is a three-year bachelor-level program taught in French. This track is oriented toward students who intend to pursue a career in education, particularly at secondary level, and prepares them for the French national teaching competitions (concours) in French language and literature. The curriculum covers French literature across historical periods, linguistics, literary theory, grammar and stylistics, and practical pedagogical preparation. Students develop skills in textual analysis, lesson planning, oral presentation, and written argument — all essential for teaching and for the competitive examination process. Beyond teaching, graduates may also move into editorial, communication, or cultural roles. The program is based at a private Catholic institution in Lyon, starts in September, and runs for 3 years. Instruction is entirely in French.
