CAM in ELT is internationally certified by two of the most important ELT organisations in the world: Cambridge Assessment English and International House World Organisation. Being internationally certified by the two most important English Language Teaching organisations in the world is a unique way in which CAM and University Programmes help you develop your career.

CAM in ELT offers the high level of methodological input which:

Many teachers need as preparation for a Diploma level qualification such as the Cambridge Delta.

Many teachers seek for reasons of personal self-development.

Because of the high level of input involved, the course is aimed at teachers with at least one year’s full-time experience.

CAM in ELT– Course Information Sheet

  • To develop teachers’ theoretical knowledge of teaching and so make them more informed practitioners.
  • To develop teachers’ practical teaching ability and develop their selfanalytical skills to make them more reflective practitioners.
  • To raise teachers’ awareness of what they can expect from a Diploma-level course and prepare them to take one (e.g. Delta)
  • To update teachers on the theoretical background knowledge needed at first degree level or Delta.

Because of the high level of input involved, the course is aimed at teachers with at least one year’s full-time experience. The focus of the course is General English to Adults, and the input can easily be transferred to other sub areas in ELT (e.g. Business English, One to One, ESP, Teenagers, etc).
There are 75 hours of input. A further 90 hours (at least) will be spent on other work such as recommended reading, homework tasks and classroom-based action research.

In addition to the input and post-session tasks, participants will have some reading to do before the sessions, a series of homework tasks and an end-of-course assignment.

The course is delivered in a flexible way , combining both synchronous and asynchronous work, over 4 months, and taught by qualified CELTA, Delta and MA tutors.

Participants are assessed on a portfolio comprising of homework tasks and a final assignment.
