Recommended Reading for CELTA Courses
Practical English Usage
Michael Swan - Read an Interview with the Author
As I was preparing to take the TEFL course to teach abroad and inquiring about the different books that the school was suggesting, I was told simply by my son who is also a teacher and the statement was confirmed by both my instructors, "just buy Swan, it's the bible and it's all you need". Practical English Usage is just that. For whatever reason Michael Swan decided to write this book, we are forever grateful. - Margaret M. Frye 5/5

Learning Teaching
Jim Scrivener - Read an Interview with the Author
"Learning Teaching" has been one of the most successful guides to English since it was first published in 1994. Its no-nonsense approach has made it a superb teaching textbook for initial training courses, and also an essential handbook for practising ELT teachers. The third edition has been extensively revised and restructured to take recent developments in ELT into account and now includes a DVD featuring a full lesson being taught as well as demonstrations of practical teaching techniques.

A Concise Grammar for English Teachers
Tony Penston - Read an Interview with the Author
I used Tony Penston's book when I was learning how to teach English as a Foreign Language. I found it really useful then and I still carry it with me for all teaching assignments - and I regularly refer to it for some grammatical point or other. It's easy to find what you want and nice and concise! It gets straight to the point. Apparently he's even got a sense of humour too, rarely seen in a grammarian, and a relief to this user. This really good book is useful for all teaching levels. Great value too. I do not hesitate to recommend it to all English language teachers. - John Osman 5/5

About CELTA in Bergamo, Italy
The CELTA course in Bergamo is a practical, hands-on teacher training course which gives you a thorough grounding in teaching, classroom management skills, communicative methodology and the techniques necessary to teach English effectively and gain confidence in the classroom.
Who recognises CELTA?
CELTA is considered the most sought-after TEFL certificate available and is recognised by employers and language schools worldwide.
It is validated by Cambridge Assessment English, part of the University of Cambridge, and is accredited level 5 on the UK National Qualifications Framework.
Course Content
The course is intensive and you will learn how to teach English to adults. The course is practical in its approach and includes:
- Language analysis and awareness of form, meaning, pronunciation
- Developing teaching skills in the classroom
- Techniques for presenting and practising new language
- Techniques for the development of speaking, listening, reading and writing
- Using teaching aids
Assessment is made through teaching practice sections and written assignments completed throughout the course.
The Full Time CELTA in Bergamo
The full-time course is very intensive and lasts 4 weeks for 5 days a week from 10:00 am to 5:30 pm. In the morning, your tutors will deliver workshops on various aspects of the English language and teaching techniques, followed by teaching practice in the afternoon. You will be teaching real students and you will receive feedback on your lessons from your tutors and your colleagues on the course.
The Part Time CELTA in Bergamo
The part-time course is less intensive but equally demanding. It usually lasts between 20 and 22 weeks with at least 120 contact hours of required attendance. Lessons usually run every Monday from 10:00 am to 4:30 pm.
Written Assignments
There are 4 written assignments which focus on:
- Analysing and responding to learners needs
- Analysing language for teaching purposes
- Teaching language skills
- Reflecting on classroom teaching
Requirements
Below are what is required to be able to qualify for the course:
- Being 18 years of age
- English CEFR level C1 or C2 / IELTS 7.0 / Cambridge C1 Advanced (CAE)
- Having a good standard of education (2 ‘A’ levels or a good high school leaving certificate – consider that some employers may require a degree)
The applications are screened by our tutors: you will be asked to complete a written task which focuses on language awareness and other issues relating to teaching English. If the task shows that you have the appropriate level of English and the potential to develop your skills to pass the course, you will be shortlisted and invited for an interview. Successful candidates will be notified shortly afterwards.
Given its intensive nature, it is highly recommended that you do not take on other commitments while on the course – especially the full-time course.
