Gaining further qualification in ESL
Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2004 9:33 am
Hi All - I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction...
I've been teaching ESL for 2yrs now. The only "qualification" I have is a week's intensive "Introduction to ESL Teaching" in which I received an A Pass...
Some reading, experience and many experienced teachers have helped along the way. Now it's time for formal qualification of some sort... I do not have a degree and being in my late 30's and single, that's not where I want to go (!)...
I am considering doing a CELTA then a DELTA this year and hopefully with my experience behind me, I should be ok.... Can anyone verify for me if this will be sufficient to teach outside Asia - and not necessarily in the US?
Would I be better to do a year's diploma course in teaching through an Auzzie or NZ Uni than doing both CELTA and DELTA? Do Celta & Delta carry much weight? Can you teach in a university with them?
Many thanks for your help.
