In light of current curriculum proposals the required number of full – time equivalent secondary language teachers will rise significantly.
There are many enthusiastic graduates with the potential to be specialist teachers but who are insufficiently qualified to enter straight into initial teacher training .
Our Subject Knowledge Enhancement courses are intensive programmes for graduates who want to teach modern languages but whose degree is not a direct match or whose specialist subject knowledge needs deepening prior to training for qualified teacher status (QTS). The University of East London has designed a 16 week course for French & Spanish. They are funded by the National College for Teaching and Leadership, to equip you with the skills and subject knowledge to teach 11-16 year olds. Upon successful completion of the course, students will continue on to initial teacher training at UEL or another training provider.
The next Languages Subject Knowledge Enhancement Course will run from 3rd June - 30th Aug, 2013. Upon successful completion of the course, students will move onto their chosen programme of Initial Teacher Training (PGCE, GTP or SCITT) at UEL or another training provider in September 2013.
Before applying to this course it is important that you :
meet the eligibility and entry requirements for the course
confirm you are eligible for financial support from the TA , i.e. you have been assessed as home fee status
