As part of the specialist module, some students spend a month teaching in a primary school in France, Germany or Spain. You follow a taught course combining three strands to help you develop knowledge, skills and understanding in: teaching and learning modern foreign languages at primary level; cultural awareness; and linguistic skills.
Contents
You follow the same programme as other PGCE (Primary) students, but also take these Foreign Languages (FL) elements as part of curriculum studies:
* theories of second language learning and some aspects of bilingualism
* pedagogical approaches to modern foreign language learning
* impact of parents, teachers and socio-cultural context on language learning
* critical and analytical approach to teaching strategies and resources
* curriculum design for primary modern language teaching (QCA guidelines for KS2, linguistic progression, differentiation, assessment)
* planning of modern foreign languages in conjunction with other curricular areas (cross-curricular links with literacy, numeracy, citizenship, ICT and so on)
* planning the implementation of FL into primary school and the transition from primary to secondary education
* a linguistic component to support the development of your own language skills
* a cultural component (awareness and understanding)
* school experience in England. As part of your school placement, you teach French, German or Spanish alongside all other curriculum areas
* for some students, a four-week placement in a French, German or Spanish school with a link to a French, German or Spanish university. You assist classroom teachers, teach English as a foreign language to French/German/Spanish children and gradually take responsibility for teaching different subjects, in French, German or Spanish, under the guidance of your class teacher.
