Program details

Overview

The secondary languages route trains teachers to share knowledge of other cultures with young learners. Trainees learn to guide pupils through the process of mastering a language and discovering its culture. Teaching encourages learners to take risks, accept mistakes and grow in confidence. Sessions examine theories of language teaching, including how and when to use the target language, how grammar is taught, and approaches to assessment and differentiation. Trainees also study GCSE and A level teaching, digital tools, authentic resources and how to rethink the curriculum. Specialist sessions draw on guest speakers from partner schools and research. Trainees can train to teach French, Spanish or a combined pairing, with a very small number of places in German. Placements in partnership schools let trainees apply research in real classrooms. Graduates qualify to teach languages in secondary schools.
