Route Leader / Support Tutor: Karen Murray-HallLocation: Checkland Building, A107Email Address: [email protected] 01273 643880

As well as being route leader for Modern Foreign Languages at the University of Brighton Karen is academic lead for the PGCE (Secondary). She also teaches on undergraduate modules in primary languages. Prior to this she worked in initial teacher education at the Open University. She has also worked as a teacher of modern foreign languages for many years in a variety of secondary school settings. Her research interests include professional identity formation (her doctoral focus) and cross-curricular language learning. 

2. The Modern Foreign Languages Subject Specialism

Trainees bring to the course subject expertise gained from a wide range of life experiences. The very nature of MFL and its inherently broad remit means that all trainees can contribute to aspects of teaching MFL even in the very early weeks of the course. We ask that trainees explore ways of ‘unpacking’ that which they bring from previous experiences and find various means of using the knowledge and skills they have with the pupils in their charge. Through the provision of expert subject-specific pedagogical training we aim to equip trainees with a secure understanding of the principles of effective language teaching and learning so that their passion for languages is transmitted to the pupils they teach. As the course progresses, trainees will cultivate their own teaching style as they explore key theories and debates in MFL, incorporate culture into their planning, extend their practical and creative classroom skills (including the use of digital technologies) and develop their knowledge of the National Curriculum and assessment requirements.

The early weeks of the course are designed to ease trainees into the school, the university group and the teaching profession. Robust auditing of subject knowledge is a core element of this early stage and trainees identify how they will continue to maintain and develop linguistic competence throughout the training year and beyond. Visits to local schools to observe best practice are also carried out in the initial weeks which facilitate understanding of links between theory, policy and practice. Part of the trainees’ role is to be ready to engage with key debates and share common concerns with other group members, school mentor, professional tutor and the university team. From the outset, trainees are expected to demonstrate a commitment to their professional development through critical reflection on practice as well as the ongoing process of maintaining and enhancing their linguistic skills.

Induction

The specific objectives during this period of the course are that trainees should:

develop their awareness and understanding of the nature of MFL as a curriculum subject;

begin to develop a personal philosophy of MFL in education;

develop their communication and presentation skills;

demonstrate an awareness of how their approaches to learning in MFL may influence the ways in which they teach;

Page 4: staff.brighton.ac.uk · Web viewThis subject handbook will help you to understand the subject-specific aspects of your course. Contents Staff Names and Contact Details 1 …

begin to consider the relationship between learning and teaching in MFL by reference to the seminars and tasks undertaken;

prepare effectively for the first placement.

Subject specific outcomes

The subject specialism content of the programme is designed to prepare you as a critically reflective and informed MFL practitioner during school-based training and beyond, at Key Stages 3 and 4. By the end of the programme you will have, in the context of Key Stages 3 and 4, the ability to demonstrate:

1. a secure and up to date knowledge and understanding of your subject area that enables you to teach it confidently and competently;

2. a critical understanding of statutory curricula in MFL and how to plan in line with these;

3. an understanding of MFL transition and progression across all key stages;

4. a critical understanding of the key debates and pedagogies in MFL and awareness of the ways in which MFL is perceived and used in society;

5. an emerging philosophy of the nature and purpose of the subject and your professional stance as an MFL teacher;

6. a creative and constructively critical approach to the development and evaluation of effectively planned and inclusive MFL lessons / sequences of lessons;

7. a knowledge of the range of resources / activities available for MFL and an ability to critically prepare, select and justify a variety of resource materials;

8. the self-confidence, flexibility, evaluative and reflective skills in MFL that enable you to engage in planning creative teaching and learning activities and respond to future educational change;

9. knowledge and understanding of a range of teaching, learning and assessment strategies for MFL and how to use and adapt them to meet the varying needs of learners and support their progress;

10. an understanding of how to make provision effective for all learners in order to take an active and practical account of the principles of equality, inclusion and diversity in your teaching.

We recognise the value of MFL at KS5 and provide enhancement opportunities at this level (e.g. workshop on creative teaching and learning in MFL at KS5; visit to a school offering A level in MFL and comparison with IBAC; experience of observing and teaching at KS5).

A variety of approaches to teaching and learning are utilised throughout the programme and innovative classroom practices modelled, drawing upon:

• tutor led presentations• trainee led presentations • tutor led seminars • trainee led seminars • practical workshops • group-work• drama and role play • digital technologies
