CTWE Overview
1. CTWE OVERVIEW
There are a wide variety of teacher training courses available from CELTA and TESOL
certificates to foundation programs such as the TKT. These courses focus on teaching
in an educational context rather than a workplace environment and therefore do not
adequately prepare teachers for the demands of their jobs as workplace English
communication trainers. Workplace English teaching requires specific theoretical
knowledge, practical skills and awareness to effectively apply communication
learning principles to the specific business needs of the workplace.
The Certificate in Teaching Workplace English was originally designed by Dr. Jane
Lockwood, a leading expert in workplace communication training and assessment. It
is a comprehensive theoretical and practical program purpose-built
purpose to provide
trainers with the necessary foundations in the principles of language and language
learning, assessment and English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and its practical impact
on business performance to equip them to deliver quality communication courses
for the workplace.
In order to ensure skills are effectively transferred back on to the job, a practical ev
evaluation
forms part of the certification and is conducted with targeted individual feedback by
experienced teacher-trainers.
