We've had a fantastic week getting to know our newest trainees during Familiarisation 2026! Now it's time for them to spread their wings as they continue on the next step of their teacher training journey. Best of luck everyone! #TeacherTraining #ModernLanguages #TeachLanguages #TrainToTeach #FutureTeachers
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
