Hello, is it a good idea to buy all of those books mentioned above, or just 1 from each section, if its just 1 from each section, which books would you recommend?
Thanks
Definitely just one from each section. In fact, the only priorities are a good grammar book and EFL dictionary.
ReplyHi, David, though I have most of the book mentioned above, but my question is” can I go through them myself or I really need to join an institute which offers CELTA? In that case what more will I get from studying there?
ReplyYou will need to apply to a CELTA centre regardless if you want to acquire your CELTA certificate. A large part of the course involves onsite training and teaching practice. However, there is an online CELTA course available that allows you to study some of the syllabus from home. I hope that helps.
ReplySpelling is important for teaching English, of course. If you struggle with spelling, you can still do well by double-checking your work.
For written assignments and lesson plans written on your computer, you can use the built in spell-checker in whichever program you used. Maybe ask a friend or family member to have a read too.
For your actual teaching practice, just be sure to plan your whiteboard before, as part of your lesson planning. This way you can double check your spelling before you start writing in front of the class.
I’m sure you’ll do just fine!
ReplyAh no, grammar! Head on over to Parts of Speech For a quick refresher on what you need to know.
ReplyHi , i am planning to join the CELTA course , anyway i fear nothing. i have a wide experince in teaching for all levels , but i heard that even if i have the CELTA , it seems a bit complicated to work with it as i am not a native , but always when i speak to natives they tell me that i have a good accent even if i don´t speak quickly and that make me more confident.
ReplyThis article is for you, Ahmed!
There are thousands of non-native speaker English teachers working around the world. Obviously some schools prefer native speakers for marketing reasons, but finding a teaching job isn’t difficult if you’re willing to work and show what you can do.
ReplyHi David I had my interview just yesterday! And I’m happy to tell you that I’ve passed. However I’ll need to prepare for the course that starts on the 3rd of September! I’m really nervous. I’ve got some tips from you this morning. So thank you. I’m trying to get some books now!
