    • We had a great day yesterday at Familiarisation! Our trainees learned about practical classroom strategies and even took on the challenge of learning Serbian. By experiencing a completely new language for themselves, they gained a better understanding of what it feels like to learn a new language from a student's perspective. They can now take these experiences and ideas into their own classrooms. Another brilliant day of learning, sharing and preparing for their teaching journey! #TeacherTraining #ModernLanguages #TeachLanguages #TrainToTeach #FutureTeachers
