Re: What ESL certificate courses do you recommend? Although this usually goes against my philosophy, it really depends on where and how long you intend to teach. Without a doubt, celta or tesol certificates give the new teacher a better understanding of theory and practice. But if someone were just planning to go abroad and teach for six months or a year, I would recommend a few books rather than a course.
What books?
Scrivener's Learning Teaching
Brown's Teaching by Principles
Nunan's Second Language Teaching and Learning |
