Begin a rewarding and fulfilling career in teaching with a PGCE in Secondary Modern Languages from London Met. This course covers the principles of modern language teaching, producing an effective classroom environment and how to work in the field of education. Centred around the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child, this degree has a rigorous academic programme. There is a human element to the course which encourages individuality and communication. In recent years, almost 100% of our trainees have passed this course and we have a very high employment rate. This course will train you to teach 11 to 16-year-olds (Key Stages 3 and 4) and, by arrangement, 16 to 18-year-olds in a secondary school environment. This PGCE leads to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). The modern languages included are French, Spanish and German, and you will be developing pupils’ skills in speaking, reading, listening and writing the language they choose to learn. At the University, you’ll study teaching methodology, pupil assessment and how children learn. There will also be collaborative and school-based projects with other trainees. Based in London, this PGCE course will broaden your understanding of teaching in multicultural urban environments. Through your two school placements, you’ll learn how to help pupils develop their foreign languages effectively and fluently.
You will be required to have: a UK degree, preferably grade 2.2 or equivalent, in the language you want to teach. If you do not have a degree in that language but hold an alternative degree at the required level, then you should be a native speaker. You should also ideally have spent a significant amount of time in a country where the foreign language you intend to teach is spoken, literacy and numeracy tests - these are university-based tests, which you will be asked to undertake at your interview, a valid Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) certificate and Confirmation of Fitness to Teach (eg a London Metropolitan University Health Check) which you will be advised to apply for after an offer is made, GCSE English and Mathematics grade C (grade 4) or above (or equivalent).
