Your host family is required to register you feel language courses a few hours a week. As your agency’s for advice if they don’t or for recommendations.
In order to teach English in France you have two possibilities:
One is a degree in English with some French literature/history UE (classes). You’d need to be excellent at French and the history/literature classes would teach you how to format the essays. Be ready for a lot of failing grades at first because it’s a very rigid goat that is taught in high school so it won’t be taught in college. Then after 5 years of study you take a competitive exam (translation, linguistics, literary analysis, history) and if you’re lucky you are a teacher. If not you can be a teacher with a temporary contract.
The second way is for you to learn as much French as possible right now (watching tv*, reading literature in translation and, as soon as you’re able, easy reading like Le Parisien and Marc Levy). Return to the US, get into a college with a strong French program. Major in French (the higher level you’ve reached at your French language school, preferably certified, the higher up you’ll start at college and the easier it’ll be to complete the major) + English or American studies or history minor + education minor. Then, get an assistantship position for a year. Then you can apply for a temporary contract job.

There may be visa issues but if you’re enrolled in a posr BA French university program you’re legally entitled to 20 hours of work ie’, teaching.
