Modern Foreign Languages - Subject Knowledge Enhancement Courses
These courses have been introduced by the Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA) to increase the pool of eligible trainees joining secondary Modern Foreign Language Initial Teacher Training (ITT) courses in September.
This course is intended for participants with LIMITED or NO French (typically up to GSCE Level).
It is an intensive 16-week summer programme aimed at enabling graduates with one modern or community language to develop a second modern language which they can then teach accurately and confidently to pupils during Key Stage 3.
French / Spanish Extension Course (Higher Level)
This course aims to address the increasing number of PGCE/GTP applicants who have a range of linguistic experiences and potential.
This is an intensive 16-week summer programme aimed at enabling graduates with a single language background (French or Spanish) to refresh and develop that language to enable them to start an ITT course in September. The course is intended for participants who have a good A-Level or some degree-level in either French or Spanish. The purpose of the course is to update these candidates’ subject knowledge in order to prepare them linguistically for an ITT course.
