Course Description

What is ICELT?
ICELT (In-service Certificate in English Language Teaching) is a Cambridge award for practising English teachers.
This qualification can help you deepen your knowledge and develop your ability to reflect on and improve your teaching.

It is divided into two modules:
Module One: - Language for Teachers
Module Two: - Teaching
- Methodology

The full ICELT certificate is awarded to candidates successfully completing both modules. Module One can be completed either in the UK or in your country. Module Two can only be completed in your country.


Who is ICELT for?
Because ICELT is flexible it is difficult to describe a typical candidate. However, some examples are:
• You may teach adults or young learners in a private institute and wish to develop your knowledge and skills.
• You may have been working in a primary school for several years, and have begun to teach English without any previous ELT training.
• You may be returning to language teaching after a period of time and wish to review and develop your English Language skills.
• You may have completed a pre-service teacher-training course for secondary teachers a year ago.
• You are currently working in a secondary school and also work in a private institute teaching adults two evenings a week.
• You may be a teacher of English in a university environment.

Your level of English should be at least level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages
(This is equivalent to Cambridge FCE, IELTS band score of 5, TOEFL computer-based score of 173)
Teachers must have a minimum of 100 hours teaching experience.

What does Brighton Central Offer?
ICELT Module 1: Language for Teachers
• These are intensive 3/4-week courses.
• The module develops professional language and communication skills in English.
• Aspects of methodology are covered as an integral part of the course.
• You complete six ‘Language for Teachers’ tasks.
• Your classmates are teachers from all over the world.
• You need to be a practising teacher with at least 100 hours of teaching experience.
• You are given the option of preparing for TKT
• The course and assessment is moderated by Cambridge ESOL.
• EU teachers are eligible for funding under the EU Comenius-Gruntdvig Programme.
• The course leads to the Cambridge Language for Teachers Certificate with a grade of Pass, Merit or Distinction.

Note: It is possible for any ‘closed’ group of teachers from one institution or a group of institutions in one area to organise this course at any time of year that is convenient.


Optional: ICELT Module 1* (Language for Teachers) plus TKT
TKT (Teaching Knowledge Test) is a Cambridge award testing professional knowledge for English language teachers.

It aims to increase teachers' confidence and enhance job prospects by focusing on the core teaching knowledge needed by teachers of primary, secondary or adult learners, anywhere in the world. It does not test teaching ability or a teacher’s language proficiency.

TKT focuses on:

• different methodologies for teaching
• the 'language of teaching'
• the ways in which resources can be used
• the key elements of lesson planning
• classroom management methods for different needs

What does TKT involve?

TKT has three modules. These can be taken together at the same time, or separately, in any order, over a period of time. For each module there is a test of 80 questions which lasts 80 minutes. Candidates must select the correct answer and mark this on a computerised answer sheet.

Module 1 - Language and background to language learning and teaching
Module 2 - Planning lessons and use of resources for language teaching
Module 3 - Managing the teaching and learning process

You receive a grade from Band 1 (lowest) to Band 4 (highest). TKT is not a pass/fail test.


The ICELT Module 1* (Language for Teachers) plus TKT is an optional preparation for TKT included in the ICELT Module 1 intensive 3/4-week course. The exam fee is the only additional charge (max. £75).


Accommodation Options

£113 per week in July and August for a single room with breakfast and dinner every day and a light lunch at the weekends.
