About the event
An annual conference designed for all those involved in supporting trainees on primary and secondary initial teacher education programmes for MFL, run by CILT, the National Centre for Languages.
This year CILT has balanced the number of contributions from the two sectors so that colleagues will be able to work in discussion with those specialising in their area of interest. A selection of sessions on primary/secondary transition will allow colleagues to share ideas across different sectors.
Who is the Conference for?
The conference is designed for teacher trainers on MFL PGCE, SCITT and GTP courses and mentors working in partnership with any of these.Those involved in research in this sector will also find many sessions of interest.
