Structure of the Course

This 2-week course is similar in structure to the longer 4-week Cambridge CELTA course for native speakers of English.

The course has been adapted to the needs of non-native speakers of English. In the Language Learning section students will work on their grammatical awareness and how to make their lessons more communicative.

The methodology area will focus on classroom management, making your own materials, using a course book in class and regular observation of classes. At the end of the course the trainees will be given a Stanton Teacher Training Report and a grading based on their performance throughout the course. Students can observe a minimum of 2 hours per week. More observations can be arranged if required.
