Course summary

Train to become a qualified Modern Languages teacher in a secondary school. You will help pupils access the world and new cultures while teaching the subject you love. Overview Our Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) will prepare you to become an inspirational modern languages teacher with research-informed lectures, varied school placements and interactive lesson simulations. You will benefit from University and school support throughout your course. At Worcester, you will gain experience through placement in two different secondary school environments, teaching a range of secondary year groups, whilst receiving support from a school subject mentor and University tutors. When not on placement, you will be taught through a mixture of lectures, workshops and interactive subject sessions. In these interactive sessions, our tutors will model effective teaching and classroom management strategies. You will also get the opportunity to select one of our enhancement activities, these allow you to pursue a subject that's important to you – from Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) to English as an Additional Language. Beyond the classroom, we’ll enrich your subject knowledge of the Modern Languages curriculum. For example, recent students have explored how to teach grammar effectively with guest speakers, learnt how to empower disadvantaged pupils and led workshops in schools focussing on culture. When you successfully complete the course, you'll be recommended for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). QTS is awarded by the Teaching Regulation Agency in England. Combinations
