| Thanks for the information. I have no plan for changing my main career to language teaching. I would pretty much stay in the IT field. For teaching English what I am expecting is just to take some flexible parttime positions at most. However, I suddenly come up with another question (inspired by kslausanne's reply). Will CELTA in any way help if later I want to teach in my field, for example, teaching science/computer stuff in an international school/college/vocational school, or in an English speaking country? In other words, in practice, is CELTA also helpful for non native speakers to teach other subjects using the English language? | |

Having done the Celta, Delta and other adult training courses, the Celta does give a basic introduction to pedagogy which could be easily extended to other subjects. All the same, it really depends on the person you're sitting across from at the interview and local regulations. The latter are so important... to teach adults English in Toronto's public system,you don't have to be a native speaker, but they don't recognize the Celta. I haven't really investigated in Switzerland's public system because I've worked in the private sector.
