Cambridge CELTA
This is a highly practical course that provides training in the teachin
g of English as a foreign language to adults. CELTA aims to provide teachers with a firm foundation on which they can build with experience. CELTA deals with levels from Beginners/Elementary to Late Intermediate (Cambridge First Certificate). The CELTA course presents a view of the principles underlying language teaching and deals extensively with the analysis of English from a learner's perspective. At BKC-International House Moscow this CELTA course is run as an intensive four-week course (120 hours)
- Input session
Input sessions are often held in the form of a workshop or interactive lecture. Topics address the issues of language awareness, the learning/teaching context, planning, methodology, classroom management and areas of language analysis and presentation and professional development.
- Teaching practice and Observation
Teaching practice is a major component of the CELTA course and takes place every evening. The programme is closely related to work done during the seminar sessions. Small groups (the maximum is six) obtain practical experience through working with classes at different levels. After each teaching practice session the lessons are discussed with the tutor. CELTA Trainees must liase with other members of their group outside course hours in order to produce a series of cohesive lessons.
Cambridge DELTA
For teachers who already have the CELTA and a minimum of two years' experience, this course offers a post-graduate level qualification that combines the latest theories in language acquisition, methodology and language analysis with teaching practice. The course components are:
- Course work: This is an intensive, full time course, with a number of quite demanding written assignments (2,000-2.500 words) and an extended written assignment (4,000-4,500 words).
- Practicum: There is a supervised practicum with specially constituted practice classes at two levels.
- Observation: There is a 10 hour observation requirement.
- Written examination: There is a written examination of three and a half hours, which can be taken either in June or December.
- External Practical assessment: One lesson and one assignment will be externally assessed.
IH Certificate in Teaching English to Young Learners (IHCYL)
The main aim of the course is to prepare teachers to teach Young Learners. Usually, these teachers will already have had some form of pre-service training in the teaching of ELT to adults. The course consists of input sessions and teaching practice. Each participant will be observed teaching Young Learners classes by the tutor for a minimum of 3 hours. These classes will be special Teaching Practice classes created for the course by the Teacher Training Centre.
For every lesson that the trainee teaches, there will be pre-lesson guidance and post-lesson feedback. Input sessions cover the complete range of young learners (from 3 year olds to teenagers). The practice component of the course will concentrate on 8 year olds to 15 year olds.
