The CELTA -- My Experience | Should you take it?

[@SchoolzBookOfficialChannel]

I'm a CELTA holder. Your video is reflective of reality. Good job making this video. I'm making my own teaching series, would be great if you took a look and gave me feedback. I disagree with CELTA being only recognized in Europe. It's recognized all over the middle east and Asia as well.

[@LucyBurnsScotland]

I finished my CELTA last week and it was such a rewarding experience. I just wanted to return to this video to thank you for encouraging me. Your advice was very realistic.

[@Mycreepymind]

I am about to finish CELTA course tomorrow, and I watched your video before starting it, thak youuuu it helped and motivated me ♥

[@wonderfulenglish7800]

I need your help please

[@r.d.donovan2243]

I just finished my CELTA training at International House Bangkok and I loved it there! I didn't know what I was in for until I watched this video right before the course but I managed to pull through with a Pass B which I'm thankful for 😅. It's true that the course brings together a diverse mix of people that you normally wouldn't associate with-- our ages ranged from 23 to 65. The great thing about the course was that it served as an equalizer of sorts, where in some cases the experienced trainees were on the same level as the inexperienced ones as they were also unfamiliar with the CELTA framework. Informative video!

[@duncanmcloed1]

Thank you Ana that's informative! I'm Halim from Singapore, I'm starting my CELTA course on 1st July after my teaching grammar & pronunciation course on 1st May. Only fully online course is available here. My CELTA course is 3 times a week for 7 weeks, 9am to 5pm.

[@paulwarren8832]

Thanks, really informative and useful video! A great overview of the intensive CELTA experience. One question, do you like use the word "like" with your students and how do communicate how it's meaning! 😀. Keep up the great work!

[@InsertTruthHere]

Why would anyone avoid the use of the word "like" unless it's excessive or distractive? Most spoken languages have such a word. "Halt" in German, "eto" in Japanese, "gibi" in Turkish, "nei ge" in Chinese...

[@alonzo9772]

Only take the CELTA if you want to be an ESL teacher in Europe or a university. If you are fine with working for a language center of a private school, a $100 TEFL is all that is needed.

[@malthus101]

Really? Coz this CELTA stuff is damn hard - even just the application!

[@alonzo9772]

They don't make it easy. The CELTA is an internationally accepted ESL certificate. It is almost the equivalent of earning a master degree in linguistic education.

[@malthus101]

alonzo9772 She says it's unrecognized in Asia but according to a friend of mine teaching English in SEA, he says that's total nonsense. Do you have an opinion on that? Thanks.

[@gaylordmcgillicuddy8745]

She didn't say it's unrecognized, just that TEFL is the standard for Asia. Are you in America? If so, check out the job board on Teaching House's website (Teaching House is the company that offers CELTA training in the US), there are TONS of job postings from China, S Korea, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam, etc.

+Kiyan Riahi Well for example, the school I am currently working for in Shanghai only accepts people with at minimum a CELTA. It definitely opens doors!

[@kiyanriahi]

How is shanghai living costs good teaching jobs.

[@ana_yuni]

Um it really depends I guess on your experience and qualifications. The exchange rate is drooping but cost of living is pretty good. If 6 rbm= $1, bus rides are 3rmb and subway rides start at 4rmb. Taxis start at 14rmb and I've taken an hour cab ride for twelve bucks. There's cheap food and fancy western food. Wide range to suit your taste and budget since Shanghai is one of the more international Asian cities you can live in

I plan on becoming an English instructor inside the U.S so the CELT and the TESOL would be the right certifications to get, right ?

[@ljinuk81]

I am considering in taking the CELTA but even still 90% of the language academies in the UK not only request the CELTA but also a degree too. I don't have a degree but I do have the TEFL and 4+ years teaching experience. I don't know if it's worth it because I know some teachers who don't have full time hours and the money isn't all that great either. To teach in Spain like I did you only need something like the TEFL and most of the time they don't check up on that.

[@cliov1903]

When you refer to a degree, do you mean any kind of degree or a degree in English literature?

[@mgrz158]

Hi, I have a teaching degree although I am not a native speakers, at the moment I'm doing the TEFL online course and I'm considering doing the CELTA course as well.

[@eduardotinajero2901]

don't do a Celta if you already have a TEFL. do a diploma course, like the Delta or the Trinity Dip.

Isn't a TEFL enough? Did they particularly ask you to get a CELTA certification?

[@carlossandrodiazdelrosario988]

[@richardvalvona1159]

Well done for getting a Pass A. You explained to me about the CELTA course very well and the lesson at the end was very engaging. I've started making plans to do the CELTA and still have a sense of nervousness about how good I would be at teaching English and am constantly telling myself that I will be better in front of a group once I get used to it although it's hard to imagine that right now. One thing I would like to add and from my research is that there are two highly thought-of TEFL courses around the world. One is of course the CELTA. The other course is the Trinity CertTESOL which also originated from the UK. If you want to teach English world-wide then I would most definitely go for one of those. CELTA, I hear though, does have the edge so I would go for that one and there are more colleges offering this course. TEFL is simply a generic name which covers a range courses and can be genuine or completely useless.

[@Darren_Tay]

How much did you bring to Bangkok to survive the month over there?

[@marcellorenatto]

In Brazil CELTA is getting more popular. If an English teacher has it, it means he/she will get the best positions and the best salaries in various English franchises across our country. The drawback is that it is too expensive (it's currently U$ 2.500,00 - if you convert to Brazilian currency, it can go as high as R$ 8.000,00). Not too many teachers have this certficate, and because of that it becomes more desirable for professionals and education institutions in Brazil.

Your accent is as beautiful as you. As anyone else I enjoyed the video a lot too.Bye the way I would like to ask what would you suggest as pre course task?

[@richardvalvona1159]

You don't get to choose the pre-course task. You will get this when you apply for the course and they will send you one to determine whether you would be suitable for the course. You can search pre-course tasks online to see what one may look like. Also, make sure you get familiar with the word-categories, tenses, etc, so you can be more prepared and look like you're genuinely interested in the course.

[@Hammama]

@@richardvalvona1159 Is the pre-course task the same as the pre-interview task? Or is it something you have to do ONCE you get accepted? Thanks!

God CELTA sounds like a total fucking nightmare - I HATE researching grammar on my own with all the crappy resources out there (and my very limited understanding of it, hehe) Think I'll just find some reasonable quality TEFL and save myself the bother - gonna give me the same result in the end anyway, only want to do this part-time for some pocket money whilst living abroad, not for a career.

I wish I'd done the CELTA instead of the TEFL. The two required teaching sessions that were part of the TEFL course I feel have no where near prepared me for the classroom. I feel very frustrated by the online experience too - lack of contact, lack of a push and pull of ideas as you would expect from anything online. I wonder if they have a CELTA or CELTA equivalent in Japan which is where I plan to go. Nice video, you seem very suited to the job.

[@memesbyraj9469]

Hello mam, I'm currently pursuing my graduation in English literature. My plan after completing is to teach English in Asia. I'm from India and after graduating I'll do my TEFL or CELTA probably from Bangkok. The only thing that bothers me is that being a non native speaker do I have good chances of making it? I am fluent and my main subject id English too but I still have a big doubt just because I'm a non native speaker. This is what is demotivating me.

[@vasileiosandreanidis2153]

When teaching as a non-native speaker, know that you have the significant advantage of reflecting on your experience as a learner. In other words, you will be more aware of why your students might make a mistake and how you can tune your teacher language to their level and needs. All the above is not to say that being a native speaker doesn't have its perks. When students learn from a native speaker, they are constantly exposed to the target language in its most authentic form. Contrary to common belief, this, in fact, may have an impeding result on the Ss' learning, because authentic language use, sometimes, goes against the requirements of, say, a certification examination or a lesson in ways that inexperienced native teachers are not aware of.

[@tinsleynulph7331]
