Subject knowledge enhancement courses

12 week SKE courses in French and in Spanish will run from 4 June to 24 August 2018, having been awarded NCTL funding for another year. The programme is unique in that it is:

Fully face-to-face,
Includes two full immersion weeks in France/Spain with the participants getting tuition there as well as staying with families,
Participants will be taught and examined, at both GCSE and A level, using the new (2016) resources, specifications and examinations, in combination with our own materials and approaches.

Our SKE courses are fully funded. You should not need to pay tuition fees and participants will get a net bursary of £200 per week.These courses are open to anyone who has secured a place on an MFL Teacher Training Course for the academic year 2017–18, at the University of St Mark & St John or elsewhere.

Our course is run fully face-to-face as opposed to fully or partly through distance learning and involves a subsidised 2 week immersion stay in France (at the Centre International d’Etudes de Languages, near

Brest), or the beautiful city of Valencia staying with families. We feel it is crucial for effective and fully interactive language learning. The course is taught over June, July and August, allowing you to have a 2 week break before the very demanding PGCE year. It involves intense study which will:

Take you to GCSE standard, in the first5 weeks (CEFR A2)
Take you to AS level in the next 2 weeksof the course, in Brittany (CEFR B1.1 -B1.2)
Take you to A2 level in the next 5 weeksof the course (CEFR B1.2 - B1.3 - B2)
