English. University of Southampton

The programme is designed for people who aspire to become excellent teachers of English and who wish to combine their learning through practice in a classroom with an understanding of some of the theory that underpins effective teaching and learning. Candidates should be reflective practitioners who are committed to helping all pupils to progress and succeed.

The central focus of the course is on teaching English in a challenging, yet accessible way, understanding how children learn. At the same time it aims to produce reflective practitioners; and so personal, critical reflection and evaluation form a key part of the course.
