CELTA is an introductory course for candidates who have little or no previous English language teaching experience. It may also be suitable for those with some experience but with little previous training. Well-established internationally, internally assessed and externally moderated, it is intensive and practical.
Successful candidates will:
-
receive a certificate from Cambridge ESOL and a detailed report from the School of Education.
-
gain knowledge and skills in English language teaching (ELT) based on international best practice.
-
satisfy the basic minimum teaching qualification requirements for staff in accredited English language teaching centres in Australia and most centres world wide.
-
be well briefed in job-seeking skills, using the internet to access one of the many international employment opportunities.
Requirements
Candidates are required to attend the whole course and to:
- practice teach classes of the relevant age group and size for a total of six hours
- observe experienced ELT teachers teaching adult classes for a total of eight hours
- maintain and submit a portfolio of all course work including all written assignments, lesson plans and materials related to teaching practice
Arrangements can, at the discretion of the Course Director, be made to reschedule TP or observations for candidates absent through illness or unexpected family commitments. However, under no circumstances can a candidate missing more than 20% of the course or with incomplete assignments be eligible to enter for the award.
Assessment
The assessment is continuous and integrated, meaning that:
- assessment takes place throughout the course
- each assessed component contributes to the overall grade
- candidates are informed of their progress through oral and written feedback throughout the course
Certificates
Certificates will be awarded to candidates who meet course requirements and whose performance meets the criteria in all three assessment components (except where dishonesty or plagiarism is detected). An outside assessor validates the results.
