CELTA: Can British education stoop any lower?
CELTA belongs to the past. It churns out thousands of so called qualified English Language teachers who are falsely led to believe that everything they learnt on the course is right and how they used to teach was wrong.
CELTA is a power game. Do as your tutor says and you will pass. Stray and you will fail.
CELTA is a con. Get as many students enrolled on a course even if the assessors know they may not pass. Push sleep deprived students as hard as possible through a one month course, force feeding them into submission with outdated doctrines of how to teach English.
CELTA gives tutors the power to humiliate and destroy new and established teachers with no effective monitoring of this process.
A liberal university education encourages students to question and challenge concepts but CELTA is the complete opposite. It is a totalitarian training camp churning out the robotic teachers of the future who are only allowed to teach the CELTA way.
The biggest scandal of all is that the University of Cambridge continues to manage and endorse this failed qualification.
Revenue, above all, is the ethic of this course.
