Grammar level for CELTA
Posted: 22 Jun 2009, 20:47
Hello all. Can anyone help?
I have a question that probably has been asked a hundred times, but I can’t seem to find an answer anywhere.
I have been accepted on a CELTA course which I start in five weeks. I am really starting to panic because no matter how much I study grammar, it doesn’t seem to be sinking in. I obviously have a basic grasp of grammar or I wouldn’t have been accepted on the course, but I feel my grammar is the main thing that is letting me down.
1. Can anyone give me an idea of what level of grammar is expected for a CELTA course? I know this may have an answer along the lines of “how long is a piece of string”, but there seems to be so many different things to learn and I don’t know what to concentrate on! I feel I may be stretching myself too thinly in my study.
2. Can anyone recommend any good grammar resources on the web? I am currently using http://www.englishclub.com/grammar/ . Has anyone used the Cactus TEFL Online English Language Awareness Course? (http://www.cactustefl.com/ela/) It is expensive, but if it is recommended…
Any help would be most appreciated.
Many thanks in advance!
