Module Content
Syllabus Plan
The module introduces students to current thinking in the teaching of MFL and develops student teachers’ subject content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, knowledge of learners and learning and knowledge of the curriculum in the field of MFL. Key elements of the module include:
- Lecture and Seminar Programme: The theoretical basis of MFL education;
- Main Subject Language Programme: Seminars and practical classes to address the range of pedagogy and practice in current teaching and learning in students’ first language.
- Second Subject Language Programme: Seminars and practical classes to address the range of pedagogy and practice in current teaching and learning in students’ second language.
- Peer Teaching Presentations: Short video-taped teaching sessions in which students use the University of Exeter Model of Initial Teacher Education to develop their skills of reflective practice, followed by review and feedback from tutors and peers.
- Seminar Days: Five days when students return to the University to share school-based work experiences and develop the links between theoretical and practical aspects of teaching MFL.
On the Secondary PGCE, you will learn and reflect on the skills and knowledge required by the programme’s credit-bearing and non-credit bearing modules throughout the year. You will need to think about the modules in relation to each other. To facilitate this, the learning and teaching activities and guided independent study described below are scheduled to occur across all three terms both in the context of your university taught course and in the context of your 24 weeks of applied professional experience in schools.
