Course details

CELTA is the initial Teacher Training award, which qualifies teachers for both ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) and EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teaching throughout the world. These terms have historically been used to define various categories of learners, including temporary visitors, medium term workers and long term in-comers. The Intensive School of English (ISE) offers a unique opportunity for trainees to experience teaching and observing both ESOL and EFL practice classes. ISE can also offer teaching positions, to successful CELTA graduates, in our associated schools in Brazil & Spain.

ISE is unique in offering the awards in both part-time mode over 20 weeks and intensive full-time mode over 4 weeks. The course is suitable for people educated to degree level or similar who wish to teach ESOL/EFL to adults and/or children either in the UK or abroad. Both mother tongue English speakers and those whose first language is not English may apply. The ISE CELTA will equip you with the skills, practical ability and sound theoretical basis from which to become an effective teacher of English to speakers of other languages.

Course Content
Each candidate will negotiate Teaching Observation (minimum 6 hours) and individual Teaching Practice, TP (total 6 hours) with the Course Tutor. These may be a combination of daytime and evening sessions. Candidates follow a practice-based programme of teaching methods and strategies, together with lesson planning, structure, development, delivery and assessment. Trainees also observe ISE’s expert and experienced teachers and put their own learning into practice in the TP classes.

Entry Requirements
Degree level or equivalent, demonstrable interest in or experience of teaching, teaching experience or other relevant experience of working with people, experience of learning a foreign language (not necessarily to a particular level), fluency in English if the candidate’s first language is not English. This is assessed at interview. Minimum age for application is 20 years.

Accreditation
The CELTA is awarded on successful completion of the programme, which includes 4 written assignments and assessed Teaching Practice. The University of Cambridge will award the CELTA certificate and ISE will additionally provide a Certificate of Attendance if required.

The CELTA course provides initial teacher training, leading to a Certificate in English language Teaching to Adults.

CELTA is ideal for people without previous teaching experience who want to teach English as a Foreign Language (EFL).

CELTA provides further training for PGCE / Cert Ed teachers with no previous training in English as a Foreign Language (EFL).

CELTA is popular with overseas qualified teachers who want to update their methodology and learn about new teaching strategies.

The University of Cambridge CELTA is the only independently moderated TEFL training certificate and is highly regarded by employers round the world. CELTA provides practical teaching experience, where trainees learn by doing.
