"Do the pre-course work. You can reduce the workload and stress factor greatly by doing some pre-course studying. Read the recommended methodology books, do the whole of the pre-course task and take time to work on raising your language awareness."

Sezgi Yalin, CELTA course tutor

 

"I think the pre-course task is very important in order to get the trainees to start thinking about grammar."
