You will develop your professional skills through observation of experienced teachers and reflection on language learning while attending a foreign language class. You will also gain practical teaching experience with beginner learners of English.

Throughout the course, you will be supported in the development of your academic study skills while also receiving individual guidance from your Personal Tutor.
