Teacher Training Courses

Our sister company, Saxoncourt Training & Recruitment, has an excellent reputation for training English teachers, and offers full time and part time CELTA courses which are also open to non-native speakers, as long as their language level is near-native, and they are EU citizens (With the UK visa rules, we cannot enrol visa students as Saxoncourt is accredited by the University of Cambridge but not the British Council):

Our teacher training courses have an excellent reputation and have been running successfully for many years.

For full information go to the Saxoncourt Website. Information will shortly be updated on that site about DELTA courses in London and CELTA courses in Hastings, UK.

CELTA FULL TIME

Course description

The CELTA is the most widely recognised qualification both in the UK and internationally for entry into a career in English Language Teaching to Adults, ELTA. Suitable candidates will be offered jobs by Saxoncourt Teacher Recruitment at the end of the course.

This 4-week course offered by Saxoncourt Teacher Training, which is both extremely intensive and practical, provides candidates with a most thorough grounding in ELTA teaching techniques through a combination of instruction, observation and teaching practice.

The course itself involves 120 contact hours and includes a minimum of 6 hours observed teaching practice with English language students. The input sessions concentrate mainly on language analysis and classroom methodology, and include the following:

  • The principles of student-centred learning
  • Developing students’ language skills
  • Analysis of language
  • Clarifying and checking students’ understanding of language
  • Lesson planning
  • Classroom management
  • Professional development

Daily contact hours will normally span some 7 to 8 hours (from 09.30 to 17.00 hrs) with teaching preparation and written work in addition.

Successful candidates will receive the UCLES Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults, CELTA.
