Customer Reviews

Excellent insight to the CELTA course
I am currently a student teacher on a CELTA course. I bought the book to aid my course. It has covered almost everything we have done in the classroom so far. It is a valuable book as it does prepare you for what to expect in the classroom. It certainly would be an advantage to purchase this book prior to commencing a CELTA course. I should say that I am disappointed it doesn't provide typical answers to the questions and it doesn't provide much information on the assignments.
