CELTA 

The Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults awarded by UCLES - University of Cambridge. 

It is the best known and most widely usedpre-service training course in the world, and enjoys recognitioninternationally. It qualifies trainees to teach English as a foreign languageanywhere in the world.

The training program includes teaching practice, observation of experienced teachers in the classroom, and completion of several focused written assignments. The course is designed for candidates with no previous English teaching experience, but is also suitable for those who have some experience but no formal training in the TEFL field.

Currently, 7000 candidates gain the CELTA certification every year being enabled to acquire essential subject knowledge and familiarity with the principles of effective teaching, develop a range of practical skills for teaching English to adult learners, and demonstrate their ability to apply their learning in a real teaching context. 

What does the CELTA involve? 
When you take the CELTA course you learn the principles of effective teaching and acquire a range of practical skills for teaching English to adult learners. The CELTA gives you lots of hands-on teaching practice and builds your confidence as a teacher. 

The CELTA focuses on five main areas: 
- Learners and teachers, and the teaching and learning context
- Language analysis and awareness
- Language skills: reading, listening, speaking and writing
- Planning and resources for different contexts
- Developing teaching skills and professionalism 

How will I be assessed? 
There is no final examination. Trainees are graded and assessed by the trainers on a continuous basis. An external assessor, appointed by Cambridge ESOL, will visit the course in its later stages to ‘moderate’ the assessment.

There are two components of assessment, each of which must be passed in order to qualify for the certificate: 
- Teaching Practice – You will teach for a total of 6 hours, teaching classes at two levels of ability. Assessment is based on your overall performance. 
- Written Assignments – You will complete four written assignments which focus on the main areas of the syllabus. 

Can I take the CELTA? 
In order to apply for the course you should: 
- Have a standard of English which will enable you to teach at a range of levels (equivalent to CAE level although you do not need to have the certificate)
- Be aged 20 or over
- Have a standard of education equivalent to that required for entry into higher education 

Course Design 
You can take CELTA courses in two different ways: 
- Full-time. We run three full-time courses a year, in January,July and August. Courses have a minimum of 120 contact hours and are given in a period of 4 weeks. The full-time course is very intensive and you need to be fully committed. A lot of preparation and study is required outside formal contact hours. It is not possible to take the full-time course and work at the same time. 
- Part-time. We run part-time courses from February to June and August to December on Fridays from 8.30am to 4.30pm.

Language Awareness for Teachers

In this course we will be clarifying a wealth of rules about the form and use of mainly grammar, but also of some lexis and functions. There will be ample opportunity for teachers to express their own doubts as well.
It is our intention that this course should enable the teacher not only to learn important rules about language, but also to get a bigger picture of how language works.
Throughout the course the language clarified will be related to what aspects of the language teachers should ensure they clarify in their own classes.
Dates and Content in January:
8th : Future Forms
10th : Perfect Aspect
15th : Conditionals and subjunctive forms
17th : Phrasal Verbs and their Grammar
22nd : Inversion and Cleft sentences
24th : Linking and Referencing
29th : Revision, expansion and trainees´ language doubts.

Times: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 13h00 to 15h00. Tuition fee: R$520.00 Teacher:Fergus Fadden
