Two input sessions (usually 75 or 90 minutes each)

many demonstrations and opportunities to try things out.

Guided/Supported lesson planning
|
This is an integral session in the philosophy of CELTA because here
the trainees discuss their upcoming teaching lessons with their trainers.
Thus, they are provided sufficient support and feedback on their planning
even before they step into the classroom to teach.

Teaching Practice sessions

The trainees teach non-native learners of English in a realistic environment.
Individual sessions vary in length from 30 to 60 minutes. Each session is monitored
and assessed by one of the trainers, who writes a detailed feedback report for
each candidate.

Feedback session
|
The trainees discuss the lessons that they taught earlier that day.
The feedback session focuses on analyzing the strengths and areas
for development for each trainee’s session. Practical tips and
demonstrations included in feedback are an important part of the learning
process on CELTA.
