I'm considering training to teach MFL. I have a degree which is 50% French/Spanish so should be ok to get on a PGCE/SCITT, though the provider may insist on SKE. Also some teaching experience; 2 years TEFL and a year teaching Spanish after school in a primary school.
DH is a teacher so I'm know all about the trial and tribulations of being a teacher, the first three years etc., but he teaches Science. So I wondered specifically what it's like teaching MFL. I wondered how it is not being a core subject as such but is now included in the EBacc and how that has changed teaching it?
Also I know that there's a £25k bursary for Languages which implies there is a shortage of teachers, but is that really the case? I would be taking a pay cut to teach and not being able to get a job when qualified would be a problem.
Ironically DH was going to speak to the head of MFL at his school but hasn't had time to do that!
