About the teacher training centre

IH Izmir is right in the centre of the metropolitan city of Izmir, on the Azure blue waters of the Aegean Sea - just a four minute walk to the waterfront. Izmir is one of the oldest inhabited cities in the whole mediterranean basin - with a wealth of history to explore.

Once the ancient city of Smyrna, Izmir is now a modern commercial center, set around a huge bay and surrounded by mountains. The broad steets, glass-fronted buildings and modern shopping centers are dotted with traditional red-tiled roofs, colourfully painted houses, an 18th century market, and old mosques and churches. When visiting, you will definitely get a feeling of Mediterranean Europe set within modern Turkey. 

The school IH Izmir specialises in teacher training - so you will be in great hands taking your CELTA here. More than 200 people take a CELTA with IH Izmir every year. The school has more than ten years experience of training and supporting its students. 

 

What is the CELTA? 

The CELTA is a TEFL qualification which prepares you to teach English as a foreign language. You don’t need any existing English language teaching experience or training. It’s usually a 4 or 5 week full time course (but you can also take it part time).

Standing up in front of a class for the first time is a daunting prospect, so you need to make sure you have the skills you need to teach effectively. The CELTA prepares you for the classroom in these ways:

  • Taught sessions on methodology, lesson planning, language analysis and language skills. (In total, you’ll have 120 hours of input.)
  • The opportunity to observe experienced teachers in a real-life language classroom situations – so you can see the different skills and techniques they use.
  • Teaching yourself – with helpful and detailed feedback from your tutors.  This practical experience is invaluable when you start your first job.

You’ll have to complete some written assignments as well, but when it’s all successfully completed you’ll be ready for your first job and first students!

CELTA ONLINE student testimonials

I joined International House Izmir for my CELTA course in summer 2020 and I can say that this experience has been life-changing for me. I have been dreaming of taking the course for four years now and couldn't because it was never fully online. If you're a teacher you most probably know how challenging the CELTA can be .. long sleepless nights, hours of lesson plans, and a lot of overwhelming information to digest all at once. This was not the case with this awesome team. Well, yes there were definitely sleepless nights don't get me wrong it's the CELTA course but the trainers and the administration were just so supportive at every single stage. We were provided with every sort of support before we even realized we needed it. I'm just so grateful I was lucky enough to have done it with International House Izmir and I can't explain enough how much I gained out of working with such collaborative people. I would definitely recommend International House Izmir without any hesitation.  Asal Nofal
