PGCE English with Drama and Media Studies

The course
The aim of a PGCE is to prepare the student to become a competent teacher. This is achieved through a variety of teaching and learning methods which are summarised below:

Lectures
• Tutorials: group or individually designed to advise in the preparation for school experience, curriculum projects and/or school based investigations.
• Practicals: involving simulations, role-play, practical activities and school experience.
• Workshops: designed primarily to allow students to examine the relationship between theoretical perspectives introduced in lectures and their main subject specialism.
