Campbell College Teacher Training Centre:
Campbell College Teacher Training Centre in Valencia, Spain, offers courses in TEFL, English courses for companies as well as general English classes for younger learners and adults. It is the only University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate (UCLES) approved centre for Teacher Training courses in Valencia, offering CELTA courses for initial training and DELTA courses at higher diploma.

Cambridge CELTA courses
Cambridge CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) is the most widely recognised qualification in Teaching English as a Foreign Language ( TEFL) and is generally the minimum requirement that most employers demand. The general aim of the scheme is to provide comprehensive initial training for entry into English Language teaching and is therefore a pre-service, initial scheme. This means that the course will concentrate on the practical rather than on the theoretical aspects of teaching and it will provide a broad perspective of classroom practice rather than a specialised narrow one.

The syllabus consists of five units of learning that deal with specific topic areas in the teaching of ESOL:

- Unit 1: Learners and teachers, and the teaching and learning context
- Unit 2: Language analysis and awareness
- Unit 3: Language skills : reading, listening, speaking and writi
- Unit 4: Planning and resources for different teaching contexts
- Unit 5: Developing teaching skills and professionalism

Course Programme
The course is divided into 4 distinct areas:

- Input. Daily sessions and workshops on Teaching Language Analysis and implementing Methodology.

- Teaching Practice is a main component of the certificate and takes place every day. Small groups of trainees (maximum six) obtain experience by working with classes at different levels from elementary to intermediate.The content of the lesson is monitored by the tutor and after each teaching practice session the lesson is discussed and evaluated by the trainee group and their tutor. Trainees must liase with other members of their group outside course hours to ensure a series of cohesive lessons.

- Written Assignments: There are four compulsory written assignments on the course: Focus on the Learner, Language Related Tasks, Skills assignment, Lesson from the classroom.

- Observation of experienced, qualified teachers is an intrinsic part of the course and takes place outside course hours.
