Teacher Training Courses in Auckland:

The CELTA (Cambridge Certificate in English Language TePhoto of TESOL / CELTA / TEFL Courses in Auckland, NZaching to Adults) is an initial training course in teaching English as a foreign language designed for those with little or no previous teaching experience.  It is also suitable for people who have already taught English but have no formal teaching qualifications and teachers of other subjects who wish to retrain as English language teachers.

The CELTA  is highly practical:  the core of the course is six hours of teaching practice. In this time, trainee teachers teach a variety of lesson types to adult learners of English at two different levels. The supervised teaching practice is supported with guided lesson planning and personalised feedback on lessons. There are seminars or workshops each day, which include demonstration lessons, discussion of teaching principles and techniques, materials evaluation, and language analysis for teaching purposes.  Trainee teachers also observe six hours of experienced teachers and teacher trainers.

Course Content:
At the heart of the course is six hours of teaching practice. Input sessions on language awareness and methodology relate directly to this, as do the classroom observations and written assignments. The five main components are:

• Methodology - how you teach i.e. classroom management plus procedures and techniques for language teaching

• Language awareness - what you teach i.e. grammar, vocabulary, phonology and how language is used to express different meanings

• Classroom observations - six hours of classroom observations in which you will watch experienced teachers and teacher trainers in action

• Written assignments - four assignments on topics involving language teaching and learning. 

• Teaching practice - six hours of supervised teaching, supported with guided lesson planning and personalised feedback on lessons

How is the Course Assessed?
The course assessment is continuous, integrated and transparent (there is no final exam). Each lesson you teach is evaluated and graded by your tutor with both verbal and written feedback. During the course you will have regular individual tutorials, where your tutor will help you to identify your strengths and areas for development. Final assessment is based on Teaching Practice, Professional Development and Written Assignments (you must pass three of the four).

There are three pass grades; these are Pass, Pass "B" and Pass "A", which are negotiated with an external Cambridge assessor. Award of the CELTA requires meeting Cambridge ESOL criteria for the ability to teach adult learners of English. Candidates can fail the course if they do not meet the criteria. Provisional grades and a personalised report written by the tutors are sent out to candidates at the end of the course. A certificate, issued by Cambridge ESOL, is sent out approximately six weeks after the end of the course.
