As part of the interview, you will be given some language awareness tasks. This is designed to help us assess your ability to analyse your own language. It is not a test of your knowledge of grammar rules. If you don't feel particularly confident, you might want to look at 'English...

hello friend! I'm Hassan from Morocco, I'm ,too, Celta applicant. I advise you to buy English Grammar in Use, it's Mostly recommended. Good luck! This is my e-mail. Email deleted by moderator. You may list your email address in the Personal Profile, but not in individual posts. Keep...

Hi, If you don't mind my saying so, I wonder if the point of this test is to assess what you, personally, can do. Do you really want your instructors to think that your teaching and grammar skills are better than they really are? PerhaPs that means they won't give you the help that you...

This is true, however, the major fallback for CELTA and DELTA is that they are pro-communicative approach which only works with certain groups of learners. CELTA and DELTA trained teachers are also weak in exam setting and also exam assessments. I would not say that having an MA TESOL is not as...

I just want to say, again, that I'm very glad I found this site. I have been looking for a place to discuss grammar yet the only forums I have found so far seem pretty dead. Ok, I have a question and I don't know whether it should be in this section or not, but I would really welcome the...
