Dr Helene Street

I am an Associate Lecturer in the Language Centre.

I hold undergraduate and postgraduate degrees from the Universities of Paris Panthéon-Assas (Paris 2) and Paris Panthéon-Sorbonne (Paris 1) in law and political science as well as a masters qualification in teaching French as a Foreign Language from the University of Tours.

I arrived in England many years ago and started my teaching career at the University of Liverpool while completing my doctorate which was funded by a scholarship from the French State Research Council (CNRS). I then worked for 14 years at the University of Bath where I taught a large variety of courses in French politics, French business and French language, mainly to students enrolled on the International Management and Modern Languages degree programme.

I also taught for 2 years in the Law Faculty of the University of Exeter, on the Double Maitrise de droit programme. (French constitutional law and French Administrative law lectures and seminars).

I have been working at the FLC at the University of Exeter since 2011, teaching every level of French language (Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced Courses) and between 2016-20, I also taught final year French oral and written classes in the Modern Languages department. I also teach in the Evening Language programme.

I created and delivered with a colleague a French language course at B1 level for the UK Ministry of Defence.

I have done translation work (English to French) on various University academic projects.
