Once payment of the enrolment fee has been made, we confirm a place on the course of your choice, subject to places still being available.

Pay this year for the 2024 price, even for a 2025 course!

‍

No application fee:

‍
There is no fee to apply for the Teaching House CELTA, and applicants are in no way committed to taking the course after submitting an application. Because places are limited on our CELTA courses (the maximum ratio of trainees to teacher trainers is 6:1), it is advisable to apply for a place as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

‍

Books and materials:

CELTA Trainees can choose to buy a methodology book and grammar book, but these are not required (information on these books will be provided during the application process). This is completely optional, and we have copies of these books available at all of our face-to-face centers.

If you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact us here. We are here to help.

CELTA COURSE CONTENT - THE TESOL SESSIONS

‍

Have you ever sat through a class or seminar and wondered if there was a practical application to what was being taught? Or attended lectures that felt more like endurance tests in note-taking than actual learning experiences?

We’ve all been there because we’ve all experienced, at some point in our lives, a teacher standing at the head of the class talking at us.

Thankfully, this style of teaching has no place in a thriving language-learning environment. Instead, a modern language lesson is an interactive process that requires experimentation, a willingness to make mistakes, immersion into real-life situations, a genuine need to use language and a great deal of student talking (instead of time spent listening to the teacher).

‍

SO, WHAT DOES THIS KIND OF TESOL CLASSROOM LOOK LIKE?

‍

For one, you will not find clearly delineated rows of silent students writing in notebooks and looking at their teacher, the only speaker in the room.

Instead, the TESOL classroom has students with moveable desks facing each other, or groups of students moving around the classroom with a paper and pen in hand talking to other students while consulting the whiteboard for a word they might need, or grabbing the teacher to ask a question.

You may see a teacher milling around the classroom ducking into groups of students to listen and take notes. The teacher may move quietly from group to group without interfering until suddenly they signal an end to that phase by directing the students’ attention towards a language point or vocabulary word on the board.

Yes, there will be times when students are sitting quietly, writing in their notebooks. After all, there are vocabulary words to be recorded, grammar examples to be written down and sometimes there are writing exercises to be executed. But more often than not, a good TESOL classroom will be alive with students’ voices as they verbally play with the language they’re learning. The teacher in these scenarios is very much a resource and a facilitator. They control when one activity ends and another begins and they insert language and meaning when students are struggling to find the language they need to express themselves. This is what active learning looks like.

‍

SO, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ME? WHAT DOES MY CLASSROOM LOOK LIKE WHEN MY TUTORS ARE TEACHING MY TESOL SESSIONS?

‍

For reasons of demonstration and because the process of learning is active rather than passive, your Course Sessions on language teaching will look very similar to the kinds of language classes you will be teaching.

You will not be lectured at or expected to memorize tomes of information. You will, however, learn teaching methodology through the same techniques we’re encouraging you to use in your own classroom. The process shouldn’t be silent, and it should be fun.

Your tutors will teach you about how to effectively teach grammar, for example, by demonstrating techniques on you and asking you to work in groups or pairs to analyze and discuss the tools used and how these could apply to your own TESOL classroom. Though the idea of teaching grammar often evokes fear in the hearts of first-time teachers, your trainers will demonstrate how a grammar lesson may start with something as simple as a game.

There will be no grammar trees and no lectures using sentence diagrams. The key is engagement and practical application.

You’ll also attend a TESOL Session on how to create your own authentic materials for the classroom (which is also an assignment you’ll complete on the course). Your tutor isn’t going to lecture you on the different types of authentic lessons available, expecting you to take notes and understand the theory without the practice. They’re going to engage you in learning from an authentic materials lesson they’ve created. And as you’re doing the exercises as a student, you’ll also be exposed to the methods used and asked to analyze in groups and pairs the different types of techniques you found effective for learning.

You’re in the hands of experts now. And CELTA trainers are not lecturers. They are expert educators. They have had years of experience with language learners and in training teachers; they know how to engage you in the process of becoming experts in your own right.

Here are some of the topics that your sessions cover. All sessions are practical in nature, with some foundation in theory, and demonstrate techniques that you can use immediately in the language lessons you teach.

The following areas are among those that will be covered:

• How to teach grammar and vocabulary effectively
• How to motivate your students
• How to help your students get the most out of a reading text
• How to order the stages of a lesson
• How to influence the dynamics of a classroom for the best results
• How to use teaching books and materials effectively
• How to bring authentic materials – articles, songs, stories – into the classroom

There are also sessions on a range of topics to help you find the best teaching jobs at the best schools.

These sessions include:

• Where to find the best TESOL jobs
• How to write an effective resume and cover letter
• What kinds of questions to expect in an interview
• What to expect from a TESOL contract (including housing, flights and medical care)

HOW IS THE CELTA ASSESSED?

‍
The assessment on the CELTA course is continuous (throughout the course) and integrated (all components count towards the final grade). The CELTA qualification does not require a final examination. Assessment is based on evaluation of the candidate according to Cambridge criteria in the following two areas:


• REAL CLASSROOM EXPERIENCE

For each lesson that you teach you will create a Lesson Plan, which includes a breakdown of the lesson, showing how you will manage your materials and handouts to achieve the lesson’s aim or focus. You will also prepare analysis sheets on grammar, language, and vocabulary, which help you prepare and guide you throughout the lesson. They will also help you anticipate students' questions and problems. Working with the lesson plans and language analysis sheets will give you thorough training and a good understanding of preparing for future classes.

You will maintain a portfolio of your work during the course. This portfolio will contain your lesson materials, including handouts, lesson plans and the individual written feedback your tutor gives you.


• WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS

During the CELTA course, you’ll complete four written assignments. The assignments are about 1,000 words each and are spread out over the length of the course. They are very practical in nature and focus on a variety of aspects, including a trainee's strengths and weaknesses, the students they teach, and their ability to teach language systems (grammar and vocabulary) and language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking).

Individual tutorials are held with trainees to monitor and discuss progress. You’ll be informed regularly of your progress through feedback on your teaching practice and written assignments.



• CELTA QUALIFICATION AND MODERATION - CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY

Each CELTA course is externally moderated by an assessor from Cambridge University. The assessor visits the center during the second half of the course and looks at trainees’ portfolios and assignments and observes their teaching practice. Trainees are invited to meet the assessor if they'd like to discuss any matters.

The clear CELTA qualification standards set by Cambridge University and the external moderation of each course are two of the many reasons why the Cambridge University CELTA Course is considered the best TESOL qualification in the world.

The Enrollment Process

‍

All teacher training courses:

All Teaching House Courses start with an online application, then we will send you detailed information regarding the following steps, which usually include an interview with a Teaching House teacher trainer. For more details about the requirements for your course, contact us.

CELTA Course Enrolment:

‍

The Teaching House Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of other languages (CELTA) enrollment process is designed with three aims in mind:

‍

• To provide the applicant with a clear idea of what the course is, what to expect to get from it and what is required to succeed.
• To ensure that once an applicant has been accepted, they have a very high chance of successfully completing the course.
• To ensure those who are accepted have a high probability of qualifying for and attaining ESL teaching work in the country or city of their choice.

‍

Pre-Requisites:

• An applicant must have a standard of education equivalent to that required for entry into higher education.
• An applicant must be over the age of 18.
• An applicant must have a standard of English which will enable them to teach at a range of levels, equivalent to a high C1 level on the CEFR.
  

The process for enrolling:

1. All interested trainees must complete the application form located here. There is NO application fee. If you are not able to successfully complete the online application form, you can request an application via email (as a word document) through our contact us page. To ensure that you receive our emails promptly, please add info@teachinghouse.group to your Allowed Emails list.
   ‍
2. After reviewing your application, a member of our enrollment team will follow up by email and send you an assignment called the Pre-Interview Task. This task is a series of language and teaching activities designed to give trainees an idea of what the course (and teaching English!) is all about.
   ‍
3. Once we have received your Pre-Interview Task, we will schedule a time for an interview that is convenient for you. Most interviews are conducted via telephone or Zoom but in-person interviews are available at our New York, Boston, London, Melbourne and Toronto locations.
   ‍
4. The interview is a chance for you to speak to an experienced course trainer. The trainer will discuss your work from the Pre-Interview Task to gain a better understanding of your potential for English Language Teaching. The interview also provides an opportunity to speak with an enrollment advisor about the enrollment process and payment options.
   ‍
5. After acceptance, you must pay an enrollment deposit to confirm your place on the course of your choice (subject to availability—given on a first-come, first-served basis). The amount of enrollment deposit depends on your course location.
   ‍
6. The remainder of your course fee (less the enrollment deposit) is due no later than five weeks before the beginning of the course.
