Modern Languages

 'If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head.  If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.' - Nelson Mandela 

Opting to train to be a teacher of MFL (French, German, Spanish) with the Sutton SCITT will equip you with the skills needed to teach subjects which give pupils vital skills for their future. The training is held at one of the leading state grammar schools in the country, with an outstanding record of both attainment and uptake in all modern languages. We will examine the theory and practical elements of teaching a modern language, including issues such as the use of target language, the teaching of grammar and how to teach the four skill areas of listening, reading, writing and speaking. By the end of the course you will have a full practical and theoretical understanding of current methodology in MFL teaching and the reasons behind it.
