Having developed the skills, attitudes, concepts and knowledge that are necessary for effective teaching and learning in modern languages in Year 1, participants will get the opportunity to build and extend their professional competence in Year 2. The principles and ideas explored in Year 1 apply to Year 2 and may be further explored as necessary. Workshops in Year 2 will have an iterative dimension depending on the needs of the group and will continue to have strong reflective engagement in terms of teachers’ practice and thinking specific to the modern languages classroom. All topics will be explored on a consultative and task-based approach through a combination of interactive presentations, collaborative and independent critical reading and, discussion of national and international research in the area as it underpins classroom practice.
