Online event
Information webinar for primary teachers in Wales keen to learn a new language and how to teach it in their classrooms
About this event
The 60-minute online event will introduce interested primary teachers in Wales to the primary languages programme 'Teachers Learning to Teach Languages (TELT)' delivered in collaboration by the Open University and SCILT from October 2022 to June 2023, where teachers can study one of four languages from scratch, learn how to teach it and apply their new skills directly as part of the course.
Participants will learn what the programme has to offer, what is required to succeed in becoming a primary languages teacher and gain a certificate for their study.
Participants will hear about the impact of the study on attitudes and practice of teachers, pupils and the entire school community from OU colleagues and will find out how the course enables teachers to collaborate with primary schools across Scotland and Wales through in-programme eTwinning.
In addition, they will learn first-hand about experiences studying the course from former students, in-service primary teachers, who are now working as guest tutors on the programme. The guest tutors will also share how studying this programme has boosted their professional opportunities and employability skills.
