Foundation in English Language Teaching

The Course
Each Saturday morning session will focus on different aspects of language awareness, classroom management, lesson planning and the methodology of
teaching the four language skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing. Instruction methods will include trainer presentations, trainee presentations, group work and discussions, together with homework in the form of short research projects.
On the final Saturday, trainees will take the Cambridge TKT module in 'Language background to language learning and teaching'. This is a multiple choice test
which will grade your knowledge. Results are reported in 4 bands:

Band 1 - Limited knowledge of TKT areas
Band 2 - Basic but systematic knowledge of TKT areas
Band 3 - Breadth and depth of knowledge of TKT areas
Band 4 - Extensive knowledge of TKT areas. It tests a candidate's knowledge of the language systems needed by teachers for planning and teaching their lessons and tests knowledge of how the different features of English work from a teaching perspective. The test also focuses on the teacher's awareness of the language
needs of learners and the difficulties involved in learning a second language.

Course Dates 2010
Saturday 30 October - Saturday 27 November 2010

The course runs for 5 consecutive Saturdays 09.30 - 12.45 hours and gives you a firm grounding in Language Awareness and Teaching Methodology. Combined with the Cambridge ESOL Teaching Knowledge Test module in Knowledge About Language (TKT KAL) it may help you to get a teaching post in a school that does not require the CELTA (Cambridge Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults)
qualification. Above all it provides excellent preparation for the CELTA, particularly for those with little knowledge of English language terms and concepts, or classroom experience.

Foundation in ELT Course Fees 2010:
5 day course £ 175
(based on a minimum of 10 participants and a maximum of 15)

Course fees must be paid not less than 28 days before the date of course commencement. If acceptance for the course is confirmed less than 28 days before course commencement, then the full fees become payable immediately. Cheques should be made payable to "Anglo-Continental".

Entry Requirements
Acceptance on the course is at the discretion of the course tutor, but because of the academic nature of the training, applicants should:
have a standard of education which would allow them to follow the course, typically Level 2 or above.
have competence in English, both written and spoken, that enables them to follow the course
Candidates should be at least 18 years old on the date of commencement of the course.

Certificates
An Anglo-Continental Certificate of attendance will be awarded on the final day of the course, and the Cambridge University ESOL Examinations TKT certificate
will be forwarded approximately one month after completion of the test.
Employment prospects Schools recognised by the British Council require their
teachers to have a first degree in any subject and a recognised ELT qualification such as the Cambridge CELTA or Trinity College Certificate in TESOL. The Foundation in ELT is intended as preparation for further training. Schools which are not recognised may accept evidence of participation on the FELT as sufficient for temporary work, although this cannot be guaranteed.

Important note
Completion of the Foundation in ELT does not guarantee acceptance on the Anglo-Continental CELTA course. A separate application and interview will be required.

CELTA Course Discount
Students who attend a FELT Course will receive a £100 discount if they enrol on a CELTA Course within one year.
