About the course

As a Teach North Modern Languages trainee, you will support students to develop an understanding of another culture, allowing them to gain a more profound understanding of their own language and culture. Alongside your students, you will listen to and read authentic material in the target language on a wide range of topics such as school, leisure time, family & relationships, technology, customs and festivals in other countries, to name but a few.

You will deliver lessons that encourage students to plan, solve problems and manipulate the elements of language learnt to communicate effectively.

Your classroom will be brimming with vocabulary learning in fun and exciting ways, the recall of which is the key to all understanding and communication in the target language.

On completion of this programme, you will be awarded a PGCE with QTS and 60 Masters credits in Education from the University of York. You’ll be delighted to know that we have a strong partnership with the University of York, creating a collaborative model of training.
