"The Teacher Education in Spanish programme has two components. The Spanish component teaches language skills, culture and literature. The English component focusses on pedagogics and how to become an excellent teacher. Because you are teaching from year one, you become confident in your role. And you regularly visit a Spanish-speaking country, which allows you to get to know the culture and language even better! Knowing some Spanish before you start the programme is useful."
