How Much Grammar Do I Need To Know For The CELTA?

[@Matthewqb07]

Thanks for making this video. I'm looking at a career change after 23 years and this is the area I am looking at. Your video's are very helpful and have given me a lot to think about and made me go away and do more research on certain areas. Love to pick your brains.

I knew very little and still got through with it, however, I would strongly recommend commencing with lower level classes otherwise you will have an arduous beginning! And by arduous I mean bloody arduous! Imagine having to teach a B2 class while having no idea what the 'be' verb is? I learnt the hard way via trial and error! So can you do a CELTA with little grammar knowledge? Yes! But make sure you start with an A2 class, ideally!

Thanks again for the lovely content here Martin! I did find that it helped a lot for the pre-course interview referring to Murphy's English Grammar in Use, and IH Dublin also recommended Jim Scrivener's Teaching English Grammar, which offers detailed tips and approaches in teaching grammar in particular.

We need a video about tips and tricks for the IELTS test. You did an outstanding job.

This is exactly what I need to survive. I have been studying verb tenses, phonetics, writing so intensely

I am an experienced teacher of over 25yrs including being an English tutor in Singapore. The grammar and lesson planning in CELTA are ridiculously difficult and excessive. I quit the course.

[@ELTExperiences]

Sorry to hear that. It is certainly not everyone's cup of tea.
