French and Spanish Subject Knowledge Enhancement Courses
A route into modern languages teaching (French and/or Spanish) for non-specialists
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 Teaching Agency (TA), 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.
Course dates
The Modern 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.
