Grammar Course

Many CELTA candidates bemoan the fact that they can speak English but that they don’t know or have forgotten basic grammar rules and terminology which puts them on a back foot on the course.

Good Hope Studies CELTA tutors have responded, designing this Basic Grammar Course to clarify and formalize basic grammar knowledge so that candidates can start off the CELTA course with more confidence, be better-equipped to teach grammar lessons, and be more successful with language analysis in lesson planning and in their assignments.

Focus on the CELTA course can thus be on improving teaching skills and not playing catch-up with grammar rules.

What to expect on the course?

Clarification of the basics from nouns, gerunds, pronouns, articles, quantifiers, modal verbs and verbs to times and tenses.
Three hours of asynchronous input (short, focused videos and quizzes to monitor your learning), so you can study at a time convenient to you and learn at your own pace on the Learning Management System, Edmodo.
Excellent content designed by, and support from, in-service Delta-qualified teachers.
One Friday afternoon online tutorial where any of your questions will be dealt with in person.
