Teacher of Modern Foreign Languages

TEACHER OF MODERN FOREIGN LANGUAGES (3-18yrs)

Modern Languages is an exceptional 3-18 department within the College, consistently achieving outstanding results and proving popular with students and parents throughout. The department currently has four teachers and is very well-resourced. French, Italian, and Spanish are the languages taught, with lessons offered from Kindergarten through to Advanced Higher.

The successful candidate for this post will have the opportunity to teach a combination of French, Italian, and Spanish at all levels, including certificated classes.

The department is dynamic, innovative, and progressive - fostering an atmosphere of achievement, enjoyment, and success. The department prides itself on achieving outstanding results in SQA examinations, but equally important is fostering an enthusiasm for modern languages from Early Years.

Staff are encouraged to develop lessons that will inspire and motivate pupils to reach their full potential. We would look to the successful candidate to pursue a variety of pedagogical approaches in class and develop resources to support lessons and courses. St Aloysius’ College also encourages staff to take advantage of continuous lifelong professional learning opportunities to update their skills and improve their knowledge.
