Training to Teach: The CELTA Student Experience - Will Corbett | PG 2022

If you have ever looked into teaching English as a foreign language, you may have come across the CELTA qualification – the Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults. A CELTA is one of the best weapons you can have in your arsenal when it comes to making your way into the world of teaching English and will set you up with the tools for success.

Pivoting to train as an English teacher has been quite the change for me, and as someone new to teaching I am all too aware of just how daunting a challenge such as this can be. Whether you have previous experience of teaching or not, I will tell you all about the experience of studying towards a CELTA, and how it can absolutely help you learn more about your own process of language learning!

Will is an Englishman who ones day dreams of being a polyglot, but for now only speaks his mother tongue and an intermediate level of Spanish. After a university degree in Politics and International relations (and a long time spent in part-time hospitality roles!), he recently completed his CELTA qualification and is brand new to the world of English language teaching. Will is deeply interested in all things linguistics-related, and is a firm believer that it is not only the case that his students learn from him, but that he also learns from his students.
