Course Description

The Cambridge Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA) is designed for both native speakers and non-native speakers with a near native-speaker competence, who are aged over 18 and have a high level of formal education. Previous teaching experience is not required. During the course, candidates develop familiarity with the principles of effective teaching and acquire a range of practical skills for teaching English to adult learners. The course includes teaching practice, observation of experienced teachers in the classroom and completion of a range of practically focussed written assignments.

The course is highly practical in nature and aims to provide a thorough grounding in the teaching methodology and language analysis necessary for effective English teaching. Internationally recognized, the CELTA is run in over 100 centres world-wide and is widely regarded as one of the most important and valuable forms of training in TEFL. Please look at the Cactus site, for more general information about the course content.

A word about the application form

The application form for the Bangkok course is really one of the toughest we have encountered. We highly recommend that you take some time over its completion, and refer to a grammar book such as "English Grammar in Use" by Raymond Murphy (this particular book will always serve you well both on the course, and when you embark on your teaching career) or any similar text which explains how grammar works in simple terms.

You might find it useful to chat to a practising teacher just to get a feel for what will be involved on the course, and your subsequent career. We do recommend that you try and tackle the form alone though. The work you put in now will be highly useful later, and will give the trainers marking your pre-course task the chance to see what you, personally, are capable of doing. Good luck!
