Edge Hill University is one of the largest and most significant providers of education, training and research for the children’s and young adults’ workforce in the country. Edge Hill University has a reputation for, and a commitment to, outstanding practice and works with a variety of partners and employers to develop and deliver programmes that meet the needs of the children’s workforce both now and for the future. In its most recent Ofsted inspection (March 2011) the Faculty was awarded 33 grade ones (outstanding) out of 33 possible graded aspects across the three areas, Primary and Early Years, Secondary and Post-Compulsory Education and Training.

We are committed to producing excellent research and have particular strengths in evidence-based practice and applying the results of research to professional practice. Tutors are encouraged to engage in all aspects of the research process - reading, undertaking, analysing and publishing research - both to inform their teaching and to develop a research career. New tutors are encouraged to participate in the life of the Faculty’s research, either within the Professional Practice Research Group, which is part of the Interdisciplinary Research Institute for Professional Practice or the Centre for Learner Identity Studies, which organises an annual conference and a regular series of seminars.

The Modern Languages team delivers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. You will deliver subject knowledge modules which involve teaching the subject at degree level, and subject application which is designed to develop understanding of subject pedagogy. You will be required to teach in a variety of modes, including lectures, seminars, tutorials and online interaction; and assess student work, ensuring individual learning needs are met and support for study skills and learning difficulties is provided.

You will have the ability to develop and use effective, flexible and innovative approaches to teaching, learning and assessment as well as working effectively as a team member, and having excellent interpersonal skills.
