Practising teachers who are teaching a non-language curricular subject
In the Certificate, teachers will have the opportunity to:
• understand the challenges of learning through an additional language, and estimate the language levels of their learners and themselves
• understand principles of teaching bilingual learners through an additional language, through reading, observation and discussion – they will apply these principles to their own practice
• design individual lessons focused on content and language
• implement and evaluate individual lessons focused on content and language
• reflect on and evaluate their own practice in order to help learners learn
content through an additional language more effectively
• learn collaboratively, supported by their colleagues.
• understand the challenges of learning through an additional language, and estimate the language levels of their learners and themselves
• understand principles of teaching bilingual learners through an additional language, through reading, observation and discussion – they will apply these principles to their own practice

• be a full-or part-time teacher, teaching in an educational institution such as a school, college, university, or adult training centre
• be teaching a non-language curricular subject to bilingual learners, through a language that is an additional language for learners (i.e. a language that is not their first language, such as a foreign or a second/third language)
• teach in their current school over a full academic year, for a minimum of 24 weeks and a minimum of six hours per week
• have the regular support of a mentor who understands the essential principles that underpin this qualification, and can provide helpful advice and observations
• teach a minimum of six learners
• be responsible for planning and facilitating the learning activities of their learners
Language requirements
Candidates are required to have sufficient competence in English to participate in the qualification. All candidates should have English language competence comparable to Level B2 in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
