Information about CELTA

You will be assessed throughout the course and there is no final examination. The two types of assessment are:

1) Teaching practice
You will teach for a total of 6 hours, working with adult classes at a minimum of two levels of ability. Assessment is based on your overall performance.

2) Written assignments
You will complete four written assignments (each 750–1,000 words). These focus on:

  • analysing and responding to adult learner needs
  • analysing language for teaching purposes
  • teaching language skills
  • reflecting on classroom teaching

All CELTA courses include at least 120 hours of contact between candidates and course tutors, and include:

  • tutorial support and consultation

  • feedback on teaching practice
  • peer observation of teaching practice (i.e. watching the other candidates’ lessons)
