CELTA

Doing the Cambridge ESOL CELTA with ITI Istanbul

What is the CELTA?

The CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) is a pre-service Teacher Development programme covering both the theoretical and practical aspects of teaching English. It is an internationally-recognised qualification with no expiry.

Why do the CELTA at ITI?

• We have been training teachers for over 20 years
• We have an excellent team of on-site trainers
• We offer a high level of support and guidance
• Our centre is easily accessible with various transport links
• We have an online classroom to support your face-to-face learning
• Our course participants come from an eclectic mix of nationalities and backgrounds
• We give you two reference books to be used during and after the course

Who does the CELTA at ITI?

• People with no previous teaching experience - the course provides you with the basic tools and techniques you will need for teaching English as a foreign language
• People with some teaching experience - although the course is a pre-service course, we have many applicants who have some classroom experience. For those people, the CELTA helps to refine some of the teaching skills they already have as well as introducing them to new ideas and techniques
• NB: Turkish teachers with 'formasyon' - combining 'formasyon' with the CELTA makes you an attractive candidate for any teaching position in Turkey

What kind of programmes are available ?

• Full-time face-to-face courses - Tuesday - Friday all day (5 weeks)
• Full-time face-to-face courses - Monday - Friday all day (4 weeks)
• Part-time online courses (12 weeks) NEW from September 2011

What does the face-to-face course involve?

The course consists of 120 contact hours which is divided up as follows:

• Input sessions (40 hours face-to-face with online support)
• 6 hours of Teaching Practice (observed by experienced tutors from ITI with volunteer students)
• Supervised lesson planning (usually with teaching points to guide you on what and how to teach)
• Feedback on teaching practice (done in a group format with your tutor and peers)
• Peer observation of teaching practice
• Tutorials (one-to-one consultation with your tutor at least twice during the course)
• Four written assignments (designed to support and reflect what you do in the classroom)
• 6 experienced teacher observations (built into the course programme)

Cambridge also recommends a further 120 hours of self-study time (background reading, assignment writing, lesson preparation e.t.c.)

Coursework and teaching are internally assessed and externally moderated by Cambridge ESOL.

Candidates who successfully complete the course portfolio will be awarded a certificate from Cambridge ESOL at the levels of Pass, Pass B or Pass A.

What does the online course involve?

The content of the online course is exactly the same as the face-to-face course. The only difference is the delivery method.

1. Online component - all input, written assignments and 3 hours of experienced teacher observations. This can be done in your own time although there will be deadlines. You will be supported by an Online Tutor.
2. Face-to-face component - 6 hours of Teaching Practice, supervised lesson planning, feedback, peer observation and 3 hours of experienced teacher observations. You must be in Istanbul for this component.

The CELTA Online is an ideal way to do the course if you are currently working. You only need to come to ITI for Teaching Practice which will be in the evenings.

Feel free to have a look around the CELTA showroom. It will give you a taste of a CELTA course run by ITI.
