Teacher Subject Specialism Training (TSST) in Spanish

What is it? DfE funded Teacher Subject Specialism Training (TSST) for the academic year 2016-17.

Who is it for? Two groups: existing teachers of other languages/subjects who want to upskill to teach Spanish and native Spanish speakers with little / no UK classroom experience who want to teach Spanish in the UK.

What is the aim of the course? To support teachers in developing their Spanish knowledge, confidence and pedagogy.

The TSST course will be led by Comberton Village College. The course is full for this year, but do look out for 2017-18 when it will run again.

The pedagogy sessions will consist of:

  1. Use of target language
  2. Planning and preparing high-quality Spanish lessons
  3. Teaching Spanish grammar
  4. Differentiation
  5. Using ICT to teach Spanish
  6. Using authentic and literary resources
