Are you planning your post-graduation career path? Are you interested in teaching Japanese in secondary schools in England? Would you like to get the teaching qualification to realise that ambition? If so, don’t miss this great opportunity!

The Japan Foundation, London and the National Modern Languages SCITT will be holding a career information event aimed at potential applicants for the National Modern Languages SCITT (School-Centred Initial Teacher Training). This is a national scheme approved by the government’s Department for Education. It is designed to train successful applicants to become Early Career Teachers by obtaining a QTS (Qualified Teacher Status).

On this information day, there will be a presentation about useful information concerning how to find a job in the education sector by Japan Foundation staff, followed by a speech given by Mr Keith Faulkner from the NML SCITT about School-Centred Initial Teacher Training, where he will explain how to apply for this programme.

 

----- What is NML SCITT? -----

The National Modern Languages SCITT (The NML SCITT) is the only national single-subject provider to specialise solely in the teaching of modern languages. The NML SCITT programme is a great opportunity for those who are looking to gain QTS together with a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) qualification. The PGCE programme is offered in conjunction with Sheffield Hallam University, and comes with credits towards an eventual possible Masters-level qualification. Subject to financial factors, degree classification and residential qualification, trainees accepted on the programme may receive a substantial bursary while training; this is currently £25,000 (subject to annual change). The training year consists of practical training in school placements, supported by University- and centre-based academic tuition.

 

The NML SCITT has introduced a new pathway for training Japanese language teachers.; There is an expectation that trainees can offer Japanese alongside either French, German or Spanish in order to better find a placement, and to ensure that there is a possibility of qualifying for the bursary. The NML SCITT is proud to add Japanese to the programme portfolio. The Japan Foundation, London may also offer financial support to assist NML SCITT trainees (a maximum of £2,000). Please note that this financial support is not guaranteed.

 

Please note that trainees are required to have French, German or Spanish as a primary foreign language they can potentially teach, with Japanese as an additional language. This means that trainees will be able to teach two languages.
