Visit our sister web site ALL ABOUT CELTA for more information about doing CELTA at International House Madrid. What is CELTA?
Cambridge University’s certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults equips you with the skills needed to teach English in just four weeks. It is the most widely known qualification worldwide and a pre-requisite for a teaching post in most countries. More information about the course content is available online at http://www.cambridge-efl.org
What does the CELTA cover and how is it assessed?
The CELTA course is a practical, continuously assessed course, moderated by an external assessor from the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate. Candidates are required to teach at 2 different levels, observe experienced teachers and submit a portfolio of coursework which includes written assignments. The course programme covers language awareness, the learner, the teacher and the learning/teaching context, planning for effective teaching, classroom management skills, resources and materials and professional development.
What qualifications and experience do I need?
Candidates are usually graduates. You need to be over 20* and have an educational standard that would allow you to enter Higher Education in your country, as well as a competence in both written and spoken English that will enable you to follow the course successfully and develop the necessary skills to become an effective teacher of English.
*in exceptional circumstances those over the age of 18 may be accepted at our discretion.
