British system of teacher training



- Hello, Martin. Have you got a minute?

- Sure, yes. What can I do for you?

- I’ve read a number of books about the British system of teacher training education but I can’t make a head of it.

- Mm … no wonder. What’s the problem?

- A lot of problems. Please, tell me about the difference between a university and a college where the future teachers study.

- It’s like this … The programme is different. At a university it is much wider. Great attention is paid to scientific subjects.

- It sounds as though most people prefer a university.

- Well … It rather depends.

- Speaking about universities. I’m not quite clear about tutorials there. What is a tutorial exactly?

- It is when students discuss topics with a tutor in very small groups – usually there are not more than three or four students and sometimes only one.

- I see. And coming back to colleges … I’m not still sure what a residential college is.

- It’s a college with a hall of residence on the same ground as the principle building. In fact, all the students live in the hall.

- And did you study at university?

- Yes …

- What was it like?

- Well, a big grey building surrounded by trees. There were lecture halls, classrooms and a number of laboratories.

- Any facilities for sport?

- Yes. A gymnasium with changing rooms and showers, a tennis court … What else … A playing field for netball and football …

- I believe students spend a lot of time together, don’t they?

- Definitely. We had students’ societies and clubs. Usually at universities there is a Students’ Council or Union.

- Well, Martin. Thank you very much. You’ve been most helpful.
