Overview of CELTA Certification
The Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (CELTA) is an internationally recognized qualification for those looking to teach English as a foreign language. It is awarded by Cambridge English Language Assessment, part of the University of Cambridge. The course provides practical training in teaching English to non-native speakers and covers teaching methodology, language analysis, and practical teaching experience.
Requirements for Non-Native Speakers
Non-native speakers can also pursue a CELTA certification, as long as they meet certain language requirements. Generally, candidates are required to have an English language proficiency level of C1 or above on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). This ensures that candidates have a solid grasp of the English language, both spoken and written, to be able to effectively teach it to others.
