CLAS3001 - Communicating and Teaching Languages for Undergraduate Ambassadors
This module is part of the nationwide Undergraduate Ambassadors Scheme which works with universities to provide academic modules that enable students to go into local schools to act as inspiring role-models. Students split their time between the university-based seminar and their allocated school, where they are placed in the language department as a language assistant, whole class teacher, spoken language practice teacher etc. Students are required to design and deliver a teaching project aimed at improving pupil understanding of selected aspects of the language and/or culture in question. Students will be supported by the module convenor who is also the education specialist on campus, and by their contact teacher at their school. Typically there are weekly seminars and/or related activities and 7 half-days spent in school. Students can choose to be ambassadors for German, French, Mandarin, Spanish, and Russian. Placements are predominantly in secondary schools, with a limited number in primary schools. The module counts towards that part of the degree that represents the language offered.

CLAS3002 - Teaching Film and Media Studies for Undergraduate Ambassadors
The aim of this module is to provide final year students with practical experience of UK classroom teaching and some of the tools with which to make informed decisions about how to be an effective teacher. While this module is excellent preparation for those students hoping to go into teaching as a career, this is by no means a pre-requisite. Those students planning to pursue alternative paths will find the experience an enjoyable, challenging and useful one in terms of developing subject knowledge, adapting own style to meet the needs and work with others and analytical and reflective skills.  This module is part of the nationwide Undergraduate Ambassadors Scheme which works with universities to provide academic modules that enable students to go into local schools to act as inspiring role-models.
