Teacher Training Course

Languages International has trained and developed over 1,200 teachers since it ran its first teacher training course in 1988. LITEC (Languages International Teacher Education Centre) runs a variety of courses for native speakers and non-native speakers in Auckland, New Zealand:

1) Cambridge CELTA for those with native speaker level English who want to begin a career in English language teaching

2) Cambridge Delta for English language teachers with native speaker level English who want to develop their teaching skills

3) ESOL Teaching Skills TaskBook is a free professional development resource for English language teachers. The TaskBook contains 40 lessons with answer keys that focus on English language teaching skills. It can be used by teachers working alone or by tutors wanting to lead professional development seminars.

School's trainers are all highly qualified (at least half the team have an MA in Applied Linguistics) and have experience in countries as diverse as Australia, Canada, USA, Egypt, England, France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Japan, Thailand, Sweden, Vietnam, Russia, Lebanon and Turkey.

Languages International was the first centre in New Zealand to run the RSA/Cambridge CTEFLA (now Cambridge CELTA ) as well as the RSA/Cambridge DTEFLA (now Cambridge Delta ). There are also professional development seminars for language teachers from schools around Auckland, including second language tutors at Auckland University.
