CELTA – Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages
Cambridge’s fully online courses are a mix of asynchronous content (self-paced study of Course Units on the Cambridge Online Platform) and attendance of live interactive sessions on Zoom. Attendance to live classes on Zoom and completion of online Units on the Cambridge website is not optional. Candidates must attend 100% other all sessions and complete all the Cambridge CELTA Course Units to be able to obtain their CELTA Certificate. During live Zoom sessions, candidates…
… teach and observe others teach real students
… give and receive feedback about lessons taught or seen
… plan lessons with tutor supervision.
… attend progress tutorials in groups or individually
… attend interactive seminars and workshops
A typical day in a live session includes teaching practices, feedback, supported lesson planning, and online seminar input by CELT Tutors. The fully online course is available in two modes:
A 10-week part-time course option: Live sessions are once a week for 6-7 hours
A 6-week intensive course option: Live sessions are twice a week for approximately 4-5 hours
Remember our FREE Teaching Languages Online preparation course
Teaching online involves a skillset which teachers need over and above their knowledge of language, analysis, skills development and pedagogical principles governing teaching a foreign language.
The fully online course will prepare you to be a more skilled teacher-practitioner and will help you acquire confidence and criteria for choosing and using the best applications and tools for your teaching. We are the only centre that offers a completely free pre-course preparation course for those candidates who have little or no experience of teaching in an online environment !
Technical Requirements
To participate, you need a fast internet connection, a laptop or desktop with a webcam, and a noise-canceling headset with a microphone (not a smartphone headset) to ensure clear audio and video. The virtual classroom supports standard tools like audio, video, text chat, and screen sharing, along with features for group work.
