I have been an EFL teacher for 29 years and a teacher trainer for 13 years and started out by doing the CELTA myself. It has always been a great pleasure to be part of students succeeding in English and when guiding as a trainer on a CELTA course you certainly feel you are giving teachers great models and frameworks to use in the classroom and immediate feedback to help them develop. This helps both on the course and also afterwards through reflection, which is a key skill learnt on the course.
I believe that starting out with the Cambridge CELTA through International House Chiang Mai/ Bangkok gives teachers great models and frameworks to use in the classroom and immediate feedback to help them develop. This helps both on the course and also afterwards through reflection, which is a key skill learnt on the course. This coupled with the global Cambridge CELTA recognition run by International House, the school that started it, means it gives the best possible help to TEFL careers.
