Teaching assessments can be done in one of the following ways

1. You can teach your own face-to-face class and livestream it via Zoom or other similar service. Your tutor or the external assessor will be observing the video livestream of your lesson

2. You can teach your own class online in Zoom or a platform you use at your school

3. You can teach the class of adults specially provided by CELT.

All internal observations (three in number) will be conducted by CELT tutors except, of course, for the final one which will be observed by a Cambridge approved external assessor.

N.B You do not need a local tutor for your Module 2 assignments and teaching assessments.

Module 3 – Option 1 Extending Practice & ELT Specialism

During the last few weeks of the 24-week taught course, a number of Module 3 specialisms is introduced (check this link for a list of the Specialisms) as well as a number of Module 3 assignment core subjects such as Needs Analysis, Testing, Syllabus Design and Course Planning & Evaluation

The list of specialisms follows

1. Business English (BE)

2. Teaching young learners/young adults (specified age group required with 5-year range e.g. 8–13, 14–9) (YL)

3. English for Special Purposes (ESP)

4. English for Academic Purposes (EAP)

5. Teaching examination classes (EX)

6. Teaching one-to-one (1to1)

16. Language Support (e.g. EAL on mainstream teaching programmes; specialist skills support such as supporting writing needs) (LS)

Each candidate is given more individual tutorial time and further support during the writing of their chosen specialism assignment. This module requires candidates to have a class which you can assess and respond to its needs by designing a suitable syllabus selected from a list of specialisms. Candidates do individual research from home, supported by their tutor online and can submit their work in June or December.

This option involves writing a short 20-25 hours syllabus for a specific group of learners.

There are two exam sessions offered each year, in June and December.

Module 3 – Option 2 ELT Management

Alternatively, if the ELT Management specialism has been selected, access to a language teaching operation is important. This Specialism is supported by an 8 week asynchronous course on Moodle, taught by an education management specialist. The extended assignment can focus on one of the following specialisms listed below:

1. Academic Management

2. Human Resources Management (HRM)

3. Customer Service

4. Marketing

This option involves writing a proposal for an innovation or change for a language teaching operation (in the private or state sector)
