Welcoming a New Year

Welcome to 2010, with congratulations to everyone who completed a training course in 2009.  Last year was a special year for ITI, not only did we celebrate our 20th anniversary but we also became the largest DELTA centre in the world, ran 11 CELTA courses and a very successful ICELT course with 26 participants.

DELTA delight!

An amazing 32 candidates passed DELTA Module One (11 Merits: 1 Distinction) and ITI recorded a 95% pass rate in DELTA Module Two.  (The Cambridge ESOL DELTA is a teaching qualification for experienced English Language teachers).  In Turkey at the moment a DELTA is increasingly preferred to a Master's degree as a teaching qualification by quality universities and schools because of the focus on practical classroom technique and pedagogy.

The new modular DELTA at ITI allows candidates to complete the course in three modules, either part-time or full-time, and with blended or distance learning options, and it is now open to teachers teaching children at schools.

There are still a few places available on the next DELTA Module One starting March 19th 2010 and our full-time (2 week) course starting June 7th 2010. and our intensive (6 week) DELTA Module Two starting 21at June 2010.  Apply now!

Places are also still available on the full-time DELTA starting on the 9th February 2010, but hurry!  Places are disappearing fast!

Ücretsiz İngilizce dersleri!  Ücretsiz pratik yapmak için kaçırılmaz bir fırsat!

ITI provides an ELT (English Language Teaching) consultancy service, specialising in the following areas:

Recruitment & Placement

Our familiarity with the unique needs and expectations of Turkish learners coupled with our extensive network of contacts throughout Turkey means we are perfectly positioned to provide a job placement service for teachers and a recruitment service for ELT institutions.

As the ELT industry grows, so the competition for teaching quality increases.  Our team of experienced teacher trainers is committed to raising teaching standards year on year and using our flexible services, tailored to meet specific needs, we can provide ELT institutions with the means to respond swiftly in the fast changing ELT environment.

We are located in central İstanbul and provide an extensive resources centre, including a complete ELT methodology and course book reference library.  We also provide wireless Internet access, quiet study space for teachers and our café area overlooks the famous Bosphorus strait.
