The Pre-CELTA Language Awareness Course
This course is intended for prospective trainees on CELTA, Trinity Cert TESOL, or other similar pre-service training courses for language teachers.
It is designed to help you extend and deepen your explicit knowledge of grammar, vocabulary and phonology.
As well as analysing language, you’ll be exposed to typical practice material for students and briefly discuss how to implement such activities successfully.
