The IALF has provided English language teacher training services to a number of individuals and organizations for over ten years. The following describes the three main courses within the IALF teacher training program. Most courses within the teacher training program are conducted at the IALF language centres in Jakarta, Surabaya and Bali. However, it may also be possible to conduct teacher training activities on client premises.

IALF Certificate in Communicative English Language Teaching (IALF C-CELT)

Trinity College London Certificate in TESOL

In-service Certificate in English Language Teaching (Cambridge ESOL - ICELT)

The IALF also offers its Certificate in Self Access Centre Design and Management (C-SACDM), a modular course which has been designed principally for people considering establishing a Self-Access Centre and for staff who already work in a Self-Access Centre who would like to upgrade their skills and knowledge.

IALF Certificate in Self Access Centre Design and Management (C-SACDM)

Certificate in Communicative Language Teaching
(IALF C-CELT)

To meet the need for training in communicative language teaching in the local context, the IALF has developed a Certificate in Communicative Language Teaching (IALF C-CELT) aimed at providing practical training at an affordable price.

Completion of 5 modules (which must include the introductory module: Principles of Communicative Language Teaching) leads to the award of the C-CELT.

C-CELT Framework

The modules have been designed to give the participants a combination of classroom input, the opportunity to observe experienced teachers, as well as the opportunity to plan and deliver short English language lessons to other participants (peer-teaching) and to a group of ‘real’ students.

Each module is of a five-day duration, Monday to Friday. Participants will participate in twenty hours of practical input sessions, guided observations, tutorials and teaching practice. Input sessions are held each morning, with teaching practice, tutorials and observations taking place each afternoon.

The first one-week module is Principles of Communicative English Language Teaching.

This introductory module focuses on all the classroom planning and management basics: lesson planning, managing the class, using visual aids, error correction, teacher talk, and some teaching techniques. It is designed both to confirm and reflect on current knowledge and skills, and also to introduce new ideas and techniques. It emphasises the importance and value of lesson planning, and through the process of plan-teach-reflect, encourages teachers to evaluate their own teaching and its effect on the learners.

By the end of the week, we would expect participants to have more confidence, both in their English skills (having followed an intensive training program delivered in English) and their teaching skills.

Participants then select four from the following modules, each with its own specific focus.

Module 2 Lesson Planning and Classroom Management
Module 3 Teaching the Receptive Skills (Listening and Reading)
Module 4 Teaching the Productive Skills (Speaking and Writing)
Module 5 Teaching Grammar and Vocabulary
Module 6 Teaching Pronunciation and Intonation
Module 7 Teaching Large / Mixed Ability Classes
Module 8 Materials Selection, Adaptation and Design
Module 9 Assessment and Evaluation in the Classroom

On request we have additional modules in specialised areas:

  • Teaching Young Learners
  • Teaching Science and Maths in English
  • Teaching IELTS
  • Teaching Knowledge Test (TKT) Preparation

Any of the above modules, both core and specialised, can be offered as stand-alone modules.

Aims of the C-CELT

To enable the participants to:

  • participate in a series of interactive and communicative teacher training modules, each with a different focus
  • use their English language skills in both a learning and teaching environment
  • experience a wide range of teaching methods and styles presented by both native speaker and local teacher trainers
  • access an extensive range of materials and teaching equipment

Participants

The modules have been designed principally for Indonesian national teachers. In addition, they will be a useful introduction for international participants who are thinking about a career in English Language Teaching and want to get an idea of whether it is indeed the way they want to go, before investing in an internationally accredited course.

Although the modules focus on English Language Teaching, they will also be of value to teachers of Indonesian in terms of classroom management and language teaching methods.

Given the content and language of instruction of the modules, requirements for non-native speaker participants are:

  • Minimum educational qualification: high school graduate
  • Minimum English language level: Pre-Intermediate Two (on the IALF scale)
  • Must be fit and healthy and prepared to devote five days’ full-time study (including homework tasks) to the module
  • Participants will take a Placement Test prior to entry onto the C-CELT, which involves an oral interview, a multiple choice structure/vocabulary test and a short written task.

(ICELT)

The IALF has long been involved in the training of local language teachers in order to promote the development of English language teaching through the sharing of expertise and skills.

The IALF is an accredited centre for the In-service Certificate in English Language Teaching (ICELT) from the University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations. This qualification helps teachers deepen their knowledge and develop their ability to reflect on and improve their teaching.

This program combines English language upgrading and teacher training in a highly practical course which provides in-service teacher training and development for practicing English Language teachers. During the course candidates produce a number of written assignments, and are observed and assessed teaching in a context similar to their regular teaching environment. The coursework and teaching are internally assessed and also externally moderated by the University of Cambridge ESOL unit.

Aims

The program aims to enable candidates to:

  • extend their practice, knowledge and understanding of language required for their professional role, and improve their ability to use English both generally and for classroom purposes;
  • extend their knowledge and awareness of those aspects of language which are relevant to their professional practice;
  • extend their understanding of the context in which their learners are learning English, and of the principles underlying language learning and teaching;
  • extend their familiarity with resources and materials for English Language teaching, and develop their ability to use, evaluate, and where appropriate, adapt or create classroom materials;
  • consolidate and refine their planning and their practical classroom skills;
  • identify learner needs, monitor and evaluate learner progress, and develop awareness of different means of assessment; and
  • identify needs and opportunities to further their development as professionals.

Currently the ICELT course is offered to practising Indonesian national teachers of English who are based in Bali and working in local high schools,or to groups of Indonesian national English language teachers who have been sponsored by an organisation or funding agency. At present the course is not open to individuals not based in Bali.
