CELTA
Are
you planning to do the four-week Cambridge CELTA TEFL course? I've just
completed it at the Manchester Academy of English and here's my tip for
anyone thinking of doing it - they will tell you it's intensive, they
will tell you it's hard work, they will tell you to entirely give up
all your social life for the duration of the course.
They are not
kidding.
It's all of that. It's also a damn good course and well worth the
money. If anyone wants more info from someone who's been there and done
that, drop me an
.
Here's another tip - there is a book called
"Concept
Questions and Timelines" by Graham Workman.
This was not on the recommended books list for the course, nor was it
in the school's
library. In fact I didn't find out about its existance until nearly the
end of the course when it was too late. As far as I know it's the only
one of its kind, and even though I haven't even seen it, I would
strongly recommend anyone doing the course to get it. If you don't know
what CCQs are now, believe me they will be haunting your dreams by the
end of the course!
