Course Description

CELTA is an initial qualification for people with little or no previous teaching experience and opens up a whole world of exciting teaching opportunities. Because it is awarded by Cambridge ESOL, part of the world-famous University of Cambridge, you can rely on its quality and recognition.

The course is highly practical and provides a broad range of classroom practice rather than a specialised narrow one. The course presents a view of the principles underlying language teaching and deals extensively with the analysis of English from the learners' perspective.

Activities to develop language skills. the presentation of new language, integrating phonology into lessons, syllabus design and timetabling are all considered.

The course programme is designed to enable candidates to develop:

- an awareness of language, a knowledge of the description of English and apply these in their professional practice.

- an initial understanding of the contexts in which adults learn English, their motivations and the roles of the teacher and the learner.

- familiarity with the principles and practice of effective teaching to adult learners of English.

- basic skills for teaching adults in the classroom.

- familiarity with appropriate resources and materials for use with adult learners for teaching, testing and for reference.


Assessment

There are three components of assessment on the course:

1) Candidates' professional development.

2) Assessment of teaching practice.

3) Written assignments.

Assessment is on a continuous and integrated basis. There is no final examination. Candidates are assessed primarily on their supervised teaching practice and four written assignments.
