Course description
What will I learn?
Introduction

Teaching practice is a main component of the course.
This course covers:
Analysis of English from a foreign learner's point of view
Development of language skills, resources, lesson planning, teaching, pronunciation and classroom management
Input sessions on language awareness and methodology, observed teaching practice and observation of experienced teachers.
Assessment
A portfolio of coursework and observation of teaching practice.
Next Steps

Suitability - Who should attend?
CELTA is open to native and non-native speakers of English, but the course requires a good level of analytical awareness of the language as well as a high level of written and spoken English. Non-native speakers should normally already have the Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE) qualification or equivalent. This course is for students 20 years old and over. You need to have two A-levels or a degree (or equivalent). If you have recent experience of learning a second or additional language this might be an advantage.
