ELT Concourse: initial plus teacher training index
A single-page index of all guides in this section is available here.
Guides and materials linked from this page are intended for
people with little or no English language teaching experience
although more experienced teachers may find them useful revision.
The index and this section refers to initial plus
because the material is intended for people who have yet to take a
training course who or have recently done so and need a little help
right now or when they are preparing to take further qualifications.
There is set of guides specifically aimed at people taking a
Cambridge Assessment English CELTA course, linked below.
