COURSE FOR TEACHERS OF ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE (TEFL)
1. CELTA - Certificate in English Language Teaching to AdultsBell runs courses for the Cambridge Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA). The CELTA is the most highly regarded and widely recognised qualification for new English language teachers. Ideal for: persons who want to become a teacher of English as a Foreign Language. If you want to become a teacher of English as a Foreign Language, you need a recognised, practical qualification to get you started and to help you find a good job with a reputable employer. Bell International is your ideal partner as you develop your TEFL career. All Bell tutors who work on CELTA programmes are qualified teacher trainers with a wide experience of teaching in the UK and abroad. Some of them are also Assessors for the Cambridge English Language Teaching qualifications. Many of our courses include more hours of tuition/supervision than the minimum required, improving your chances of success. Course overview This is an introductory course for people who have little or no previous experience of teaching English. It is also a very useful course for teachers who have been teaching for some years but have obtained no formal qualification. The primary focus of the course is on the basic techniques of English language teaching and their practical application in the classroom. Who is eligible to apply? CELTA regulations require all trainees to have a standard of education equivalent to that required for entry into higher education. At Bell, our course participants vary widely in experience, education and age. Most have a university degree (or another further/higher education qualification) in addition to a fluent standard of English which enables them to cope with the demanding nature of the course, and teach effectively. Acceptance is conditional upon a satisfactory interview. http://www.bell-centres.com/courses/teachers/cambridgeesol/celta.asp
