CELTA to ESOL “bridging” course

NATECLA

Aims:

  • To prepare newly qualified CELTA teachers for the main differences between EFL and ESOL provision, teaching, learning and assessment.

  • To provide practical strategies for planning for an inclusive and adaptive classroom catering for ESOL needs.

  • To (begin to) develop a toolbox of activities and resources for teaching all levels of ESOL.

Target audience:

  • Newly qualified CELTA graduates*.

  • CELTA qualified staff moving into ESOL.

  • Tutors recently qualified to AET level with some ELT experience.

  • Also suitable for other teachers supporting ESOL (vocational staff, Learning Support Staff, English tutors) with some ELT experience.

Some potential participants may have completed a CELTA or TESOL with a focus on ESOL content. Please contact course organisers for further advice on this.
