What do I need to know for CELTA?

Let's start with grammar knowledge

Try this little test. Can you give an example of:
  • an irregular past participle
  • an indefinite article
  • the past perfect passive
If this is easy for you, you probably don't need this course....

but

..if you are feeling a bit nervous, don't panic - this is learnable and I can teach you!

The CELTA application process will include tests on grammar terminology and how to explain it to learners. This knowledge is VITAL for English teachers - how can you explain your learners' mistakes if you don't grasp WHY something is wrong?

Note, too, your learners WILL probably know this. They'll make errors in using the language, but they'll often know what things are called and they'll lose confidence in you if you don't.

You're not expected to know EVERYTHING before your CELTA, but the more comfortable you are with it as soon as possible, the easier and more effective your grammar teaching will be. You will thank me for this!
Grammar for Language Teachers has helped hundreds of trainees get to grips with this. It's a comprehensive grammar course with over seven hours of video tutorials (in bite size chunks), quizzes to help you practice, downloadable templates and examples. On it you will learn:
  • Why a good working knowledge of grammar is essential for teaching language
  • The terms and nomenclature of all parts of speech explained simply and comprehensively
  • How verb tenses work including passive and active forms
  • In depth coverage of areas that are difficult for learners (and teachers!) and how to explain
This course is invaluable for pre-CELTA preparation - higher grades at CELTA demand good knowledge of language. Take the headache out of it and give yourself the best chance of success.
