If

current teaching knowledge come a long to our Teacher Training open session to
find out more about how IH London can help you.
IH London teacher training open afternoon includes:
- A demonstration lesson
- A video viewing of a lesson at IH London
- A tour of the school

IH London runs training
courses for teachers training to teach English as a second language, teachingEuropean languages to non-native speakers and current teachers looking to improve
their existing skills and develop new techniques to progress their career.
The teacher training
open afternoon takes place at our Covent Garden language school, topics covered
include:
- Why take a teacher training course
- The benefits of a Cambridge ESOL Certificate (CELTA) or Certificate in Teaching Languages to Adults (CLTA) at International House London
- What IH London can offer over other teacher training schools?
- What career prospects are there for English language teachers (ELT)?
Training to teach your native language
Having a recognised
language teaching qualification can open up teaching options all over the
world.
Whilst not all language schools and training centres insist their
teachers have university degrees or even A’ Levels, most will expect teachers
to be trained in the teaching of language.
CELTA
CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) is the most
popular teacher training course for those planning to teach English. It’s also
the most demanding!
Many CELTA candidates
say that the training was more intense than they’d expected – often recommending
that prospective CELTA trainees put as much of their lives on hold as they can
while training.
They also say it’s an
incredibly rewarding and stimulating experience, providing them with the
confidence and skills needed to start teaching.
Acceptance onto a CELTA
course is conditional upon completion of an application task, a language
awareness task and an interview.
IH TESOL
If you’re not ready for
CELTA training then the IH TESOL ((Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) has a less rigorous assessment
process, applications are submitted in writing and there is no face-to-face interview,
but it is still highly regarded by many language teaching centres.
Designed for non-native
English speakers who would like to teach English as a foreign language, or those who have a lower level of
proficiency in English than required for CELTA training, the IH TESOL offers
the same training as CELTA.
What training involves
Teacher training at IH
London provides you with a toolbox of practical teaching techniques: From
course planning to classroom resources to professional development.
Training will give you
strategies for developing language analysis, enable you to see language from
the learner’s perspective and help you understand your own use of language
(including the rules of grammar).
As part of the training
you will both observe and teach English language students in a classroom under
the supervision of your trainer. This will be followed by group analysis of
your performance in class.
