Welcome to our website,

The ICELT course is a part-time and in-service course run by BUSEL with accreditation from the University of Cambridge ESOL. The course is primarily designed with a view to improving the teaching skills of instructors who are at different stages of their careers - for experienced teachers who may want to consolidate their practice and develop their teaching skills, or for inexperienced instructors who wish to build on their initial training. The course also provides an excellent foundation for any instructor who may want to take the DELTA course later on.

The course content and format are in line with the University of Cambridge (ESOL) ICELT course syllabus requirements. The main strands that make up the course are Classroom Practice, which includes the development of the instructor's methodology and the theory that underpins their practice, and Language Development, which dwells on the theory and practice of language teaching and development. The input sessions, together with the instructor's teaching practice and their classroom research enable the participants to work on their personal development and to improve their skills in the above mentioned areas. Regular meetings with course tutors, help with assignments and peer observations have also been specified in the course syllabus to further help participants improve their theory and practice of language teaching in an academic context.

All course work is woven around the main strands and each participant builds up a portfolio of her/his work. The content of the course and how it is delivered are internally assessed and externally moderated to ensure that quality standards are adhered to.
