Farlington language seminar for trainee teachers
The seminar, entitled “The Effective Use of ICT in Modern Foreign Language Teaching” was led by Farlington’s Head of Faculty, David Walker-Smith.
The trainees, accompanied by University Senior Lecturer, Elaine Minett, were able to experience how various pieces of software are applied to language teaching in a real school setting, learn all about some important do’s and don’ts, as well as having a practical workshop session in creating good quality language resources.

We have a long-standing partnership with Chichester and it is a privilege for us to play a part in training the teachers of the future.”
One of the trainees, Emma Bilbrough, is now on a placement with the Faculty of Languages at Farlington until Christmas and will be teaching both Spanish and French in the Senior School. Emma, who is from Horsham, has a wide experience overseas and can’t wait to get started!
