Our Alumni…

Carol Stephenson

IH London CELTA graduate 1981

IH London CELTA graduate 2015

The teaching practice was really stimulating, because IH had classes of students who had signed up to be taught by trainees, so it was possible to interact with them in a fruitful way. The standards couldn’t have been higher and the trainers were really expert and totally dedicated.

After the CELTA, you start to become an expert; life has more colour; your horizons are infinitely broader; you appreciate the richness of English more; your brain is more focused. What more could you want?

I now run three language schools in Italy, where I still utilise the skills learnt during my CELTA course.

I founded Shakespeare Studio Group SRL, a chain of schools opened in 1988, 2002 and 2005 in the areas of Montecchio Maggiore province of Vicenza, Noventa Vicentina province of Vicenza and San Bonifacio province of Verona.

A few months after completing IH’s part-time CELTA, I started volunteering with a number of charities in London and taught graded ESOL groups at each for a few hours a week . This built much needed confidence and classroom awareness.

The structure and practices instilled from day one of the course were key to being able to independently conduct lessons and more importantly helped me to self-monitor and develop.

Six months down the line and combining this experience with my corporate background, I am now employed to deliver in-company ESOL lessons which is exactly what I had hoped for when starting the course just over a year ago.

After you complete the CELTA, why not try an online course in Pronunciation and Teaching. (see page 22) 9

The Delta qualification

DELTA The Cambridge Diploma in English Language Teaching ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: > Minimum age 21 > A good academic background and initial teacher qualification preferred >A minimum of one year’s full-time English language teaching experience (for Module 1) >T wo years’ full-time experience teaching at a range of levels and contexts (Modules 2 and 3)

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR? This course is designed for experienced English language teachers who would like to develop new techniques and progress in their career.

The Delta is a qualification that is a balance of theory and practice and will enhance candidates’ understanding of the English language, while examining in-depth the principles of effective teaching and the practical skills required for teaching English.

The Cambridge Delta is accredited by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) at level 7 on the National Qualifications Framework. This means the Delta is of a similar academic level to a Master’s degree.

To access Module 2, most candidates will already have completed Module 1.

COURSE OUTLINE The Delta is made up of three modules that can be taken together or alone. Cambridge recognises each one separately so candidates can choose to do all or part of the programme but still be assured of a recognised certification. Completing all three modules successfully will lead to the full Diploma award.

MODULE 1 Understanding language, methodology and resources for teaching This module allows participants to extend their background in knowledge and understanding of language, methodology and teaching resources. It also allows candidates to accredit prior learning and knowledge gained through teaching and experience.

MODULE 2 Developing Professional Practice Module two looks at developing candidates further through focusing on classroom practice, deepening the understanding of language, skills, principles underlying methodologies and approaches. It also allows candidates with an MA in ELT/ESOL or Applied Linguistics to gain more practical experience.

MODULE 3 Extending practice and English language teaching specialisation This module focuses on specialisation. It is for candidates who already specialise but do not possess a formal qualification in the area of expertise or for candidates who want to develop an understanding of a specialist area but have no experience.

It can also be used for candidates who already hold a Delta or a formal qualification in a specialism but wish to gain an understanding of a further specialism.

Some of the specialisms could include: > Business English > Young Learners > English for Specific Purposes > English for Academic Purposes > Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) > Exam Classes

ACCOMMODATION One of the best things about studying in London is that you get to experience this amazing city whilst you learn.

We have a range of options for your accommodation needs, whether in homestay, house share, student residence or even a hotel. We offer our accommodation service to our clients, no matter whether they are here for an English course, teacher training programme or even a short orientation course.

IH London is in Zone One, in central London, close to Covent Garden, Holborn and Tottenham Court Road underground (Tube) lines.

Heathrow

Zone One

Zone Two

Zone Three

Zone Four

In Zone One, we have a selection of student residence and hotel options. It means you can walk to the School, or take a quick bus or underground ride. However, the cost of accommodation in the central area is higher than other parts of London.

This Zone is where a lot of commuters that work in Central London live.

An average commute time to the school is 20-30 minutes by bus or the underground. In this Zone, we can offer a house share option. We also have a number of homestay families in Zone Two.

Zone Three is where most commuters that work in central London live.

It offers a quieter area to live in, but it is still easy to get to and from the city centre. We offer homestay families in this area.

This is the farthest zone in which we have accommodation.

We occasionally place students in homestay in this area. It takes about 35-40 minutes to commute from this zone. In this area, people often live in houses and not apartments, have gardens and live near parks.

The Tube and buses operate in this area throughout the day and night, so you can still get around London without a problem.

43

ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS

Homestay This is a great option if you want to experience the comforts of home while staying in London.

It will give you a chance to practise English at home and discover more about London, whilst living in a safe, family environment.

All our homestay families are vetted and many have been working with us for a long time.

We can offer single or twin homestay options.

All homestay packages include breakfast but you can also choose to have four or seven evening meals a week with your family. There is also homestay available with a private bathroom option.

House or flat share Many of our clients enjoy living in house share.

It allows more independence than homestay and is a social way to live and practise English, sharing with people from other countries and cultures. Rooms are single, twin or dormitory style and all rooms have desks. There is a communal space with a TV and a wellequipped kitchen. This is a self-catering option although there are plenty of food shops close by and most supermarkets offer delivery to your home. Bedding is provided and there are free laundry facilities onsite.

Halls of residence This is a popular option as it is walking distance or a quick journey by bus or Tube to the School.

We can offer an ensuite room or a studio apartment. The halls also have access to a gym, as well as communal areas. We have a number of options to suit different budgets. The best thing about this accommodation is that you get to live and study in central London, meaning all the city’s attractions are either within walking distance or just a short ride away. Wi-Fi is available free of charge.
