CELTA – The Gold Standard Teaching Qualification (Speaker: Tim Banks, Cambridge University Press & Assessment)
CELTA (the Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) started life in the 1960s. Although it has been revised and formalised since then, its essential principles, content and course components remain largely unchanged. This session will explain how CELTA maintains its relevance as a teaching qualification in the 21st century and give an overview of the course structure and content. Professional Development for teachers is very important and whether you’re a new teacher looking for their first teaching job, or you want to prove to employers that you have the teaching skills with a recognised certificate, CELTA is the gold standard qualification.
6.35pm – 7.30pm
