Many of you will have heard about the CELTA but aren’t sure about its details. So, what is it?
CELTA stands for Certificate of English Language Teaching to Adults and is recognized worldwide as the most valuable initial English teaching certificate. The CELTA is accredited and monitored by the prestigious University of Cambridge.
All CELTA tutors are highly qualified, experienced trainers in well-established CELTA teacher education centers. A key part of the CELTA course is real-life teaching practice with actual English learners, in an authentic classroom environment. The CELTA is also a Level 5 Qualification by the British Curriculum Authority, so it follows an authorized syllabus.
‘TEFL’ is a term that many of you will have heard while researching how to become an English teacher. TEFL stands for ‘Teaching English as a Foreign Language’ and is not a certificate but rather a concept.
Other similar terms that you may come across are ESL (English as a Second Language), TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language), and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). You may have heard of other ‘TEFL certificates’, whether achievable online or face-to-face. It is important to be aware that these are often unaccredited and unmonitored by any noteworthy, independent organization.
Unfortunately, if you head into the job market after completing one of these, you will quickly find that it isn’t recognized. What the vast majority of employers in the English language teaching world want is the CELTA. You will see this in all reputable job adverts.
The CELTA course teaches you a range of different skills around language teaching and English language teaching methodology. This incorporates aspects such as using appropriate resources and materials, understanding contexts of how and why people learn English. Every CELTA course has five main units of learning:
You are continuously assessed on your teaching practice and written assignments. However, other aspects such as your professional attitude, organization, and lesson planning will also be taken into consideration. The application process for the CELTA is thorough, with an application form, then a pre-interview task, and then an interview. This process helps ensure that the actual pass rate of those taking the CELTA is over 90% of course participants. For the course, the possible grades are: Pass, Pass B, Pass A (highest) or Fail.
Getting your CELTA certificate will put you in an excellent position to apply for English language teaching roles around the world. It is the most globally sought-after TEFL certificate by employers. To help you with your job search, there is a part of the CELTA course dedicated to finding work in the TEFL job market as well as your future professional development. The tutors in Florence will also be able to highlight potential schools and suitable job boards for CELTA-qualified teachers. One of the best for this is TEFLwork – an online jobs portal specialized in jobs for CELTA qualified English teachers.
*Special offer: Our CELTA online courses include a careers workshop and consultation with an English language teaching career expert.
