What is it?
It is a free, full time, pre-ITT (Initial Teacher Training) German language course, fully-funded by the Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA) for students who wish to embark on a teaching career in Modern Languages. Participants receive a bursary of £3,200 and numbers are strictly limited to a maximum of 20 places.
Participants need to have a conditional teacher training place and must have one modern language to degree or native speaker standard.
Students with no or little experience in German are able to attend an intensive two week “ab initio” programme prior to the main course. All students take part in a fully-funded two-week study visit to Hamburg where they are able to consolidate what they have learnt in class.
What are the course dates for 2010?
The course dates for 2010 will be:
- Ab initio course: 17th May to 28th May
- Main course: 1st June to 27th August
- Study visit: 18th July to 31st July
Why is Newcastle University offering this course?
The School of Modern Languages, with the support of the School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences, submitted a bid to the TDA and has subsequently been established as the provider for German Extension Courses in the North East region.
Who can I contact for further information?
If you have any queries, or to apply for a provisional place on the course, please e-mail German.Extensioncourse@ncl.ac.uk
