Just about to start


CELTA?
Worried about the


grammar?
I’m a native English speaker – I know the
                  language….

          ..but what is a gerund?
         …what’s an auxiliary verb?
….and how many uses are there for the present
              perfect tense?

       (and what is the present perfect
             tense, anyway??!!)
Does this sound
   familiar?
Help is at hand!
My name is Jo Gakonga
I’m an experienced CELTA trainer and I have developed
an on-line grammar course to teach you the parts of
speech, the verb tenses and talk you through some of
the trickier parts of the language.


         www.elt-training.com
    Grammar for Language Teachers
What’s in it?
The course is in twelve parts, each with a video presentation of
30 – 40 minutes, followed by quizzes to consolidate learning and
links to further reading.
What do people say about the course?
‘Your sessions focused in on the bits you needed to know. You could spend
hours reading or trying to get that yourself and not really get there.’

'I tried reading some grammar books before the
course, as I knew it was a weak area, and to be
honest, I may as well have been reading
Russian...whereas having the course initially makes the
reading of some of those books much better.’

‘I loved this course! I’m teaching adults now and I honestly don’t
know how I would have survived without it.’

‘The content was practical, interesting (you get extra
points for that given the rather dry subject matter!) and
challenging enough without discouraging.
Want to know more?
For a FREE, no obligation, trial lesson, go to
www.elt-training.com and follow the link.

If you like the trial, the whole course is only £19.99

Also on the site – FREE English language teacher training videos
on a range of issues (useful websites, encouraging learners to
speak, using ICT for teacher development etc). I hope that they
help you in your teaching career.
