Modern and Ancient Languages provide a way of transcending cultural barriers, allowing students to see their world from a different viewpoint. It prompts them to question what is ‘normal’, fosters their curiosity and deepens their understanding of the world as a rich and diverse place filled with different customs, perspectives, history, arts, literature and ways of communicating. One particularly powerful skill which is developed in language learning is the ability to speak and think simultaneously in a foreign language. Students are challenged to respond without preparation in discussions in class and this leads to them forming strong oracy skills.
For further details on the role, including key skills and experience required, please see the Job Description and Person Specification attached below.
