CELTA, (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) formerly known as Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults, is an initial teacher training qualification (a certification for teachers) allowing you to teach English (ESL, EFL) in Dubai or abroad.
It is a highly respected teaching qualification recognised internationally and suitable for those with little or no previous teaching experience. The course covers a wide range of topics, including grammar, pronunciation, lesson planning, classroom management and teaching methodologies. It also includes teaching practicum, where you will have the opportunity to put your newly learned skills into practice by teaching real students.
The course is designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to teach English effectively to learners from a wide range of backgrounds.
Schools, educational institutions and ESL employers in Dubai (and abroad) are aware of the CELTA course content, and know what to expect when hiring a CELTA-qualified teacher.
Hence with a CELTA certification, you stand a better chance of getting a teaching job in any of the public, private, international and English language schools in Dubai or abroad.
