你为什么想成为一名英语教师？是想影响其他人的生活，想在不同的国家体验他国文化，还是想和孩子一起工作成长？无论你最初选择成为英语教师的动机是什么，在教学过程中，你一定都会遇到性格各异的学生，并帮助他们发展“英语”这一宝贵的技能。
There are many reasons why people choose to become an English language teacher. Some want to know they are making a difference in other people’s lives. Some want to travel, live in new countries and immerse themselves in a new culture. Others want to work with children, or do a creative, interesting job. Whatever your motivations, you’ll be sure to meet fascinating students and help them develop valuable new skills.
很多教师在执教后，依然会选择不断提高自身技能，与学生一同成为更好的自己，但在众多TEFL（英语为非母语教学）类证书中，如何选择适合自己的，也是一种挑战。英语语言教师证书CELTA是最受欢迎的教学资格证书之一，全球每年都有上万名教师参加CELTA课程，在英语教学与个人成长的路上不断精进。
But choosing the right English language teaching course for you can be a challenge. There are so many different TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) courses to pick from. The question is, which is the best one for you?
你可能会很好奇，资格证书那么多，为什么CELTA证书这么受欢迎？其实，CELTA素有教学资格的“黄金标准”之称，除了含金量高以外，它对每个英语教师的职业生涯发展还有促进作用，包括就业机会、严格训练、新技能与信心、职业发展四大方面。
Here are four reasons why we recommend taking an officialCertificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (CELTA) qualification from Cambridge.
就业机会
Employment opportunities
即使拥有专业的经验，找到合适的英语教学工作依然是一件具有挑战性的事情。而拥有高认可度的证书，是我们职业发展中的加分项。
Finding the right English language teaching jobs can be a difficult process, regardless of whether you have professional experience or not. It can be challenging if you also throw moving to a new country into the mix.
正确的资格证书可以为我们提供多种优势，然而，现在我们都能够在网上找到许多TESOL（向非母语者教授英语）的课程，包括各种周末短期课程、在线课程、仅涉及理论的课程以及包含教学观察实践的课程等等。
The right qualification can give you a much needed advantage. However, there are many kinds of TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) courses available. A quick search online uncovers weekend short courses, online courses, courses that only go into theory, and courses that include observed teaching practice.
但很多课程并非官方出品，质量也参差不齐，有些甚至只局限于理论课程，没有实践机会，也没有外部审核的标准。对于用人单位来说，这些证书并不能证明我们已经为这份工作做好了准备。
Unofficial courses are of varying quality. Some may have very good programmes, but they are not standardised and there is no external moderation. Future employers will therefore not know if your course has really prepared you for the job.
这也是为什么我们会认为，选择经过认可的资格证书更为重要。
That’s why it’s important you choose an accredited qualification.
相比较之下，CELTA证书由剑桥认证并受到英国政府机构——英国资格与考试监督管理办公室的监管，多年来一直被世界各地语言学校和教育机构认可。它被视为教学资格的“黄金标准”，能够帮助我们的简历在招聘季中更具优势。
CELTA is recognised and trusted by language academies and educational institutions everywhere. It is certified by Cambridge and regulated by Ofqual, the government office that regulates qualifications in England. As such, it is the gold standard teaching qualification. It ensures your CV will be at the top of the pile during hiring season.
一份2018年对60多个国家/地区的600个英语教学招聘广告的研究表明，剑桥英语的CELTA是雇主最常要求的资格。事实上，3/4的英语教学工作都需要拥有这个资格证明。
A 2018 study of 600 English language teaching job adverts in over 60 countries revealed that Cambridge Assessment English’sCELTA is the qualification most often requested by employers. In fact, three out of four English language teaching jobs require it.
训练严格
Rigorous training
成为一名英语语言教师，绝不仅仅是“能够流利地说英语”这么简单。它需要我们熟悉课程计划、能够理解语法和词汇、拥有一定的教学技巧、管理课堂的能力以及各种适应性技能。
If you are serious about becoming an English language teacher, you’ll know it takes more than just being able to speak the language fluently. It requires lesson planning, an understanding of grammar and vocabulary, teaching skills, the capacity to manage a class, and the skillset to work with a wide range of ages and abilities.
对于没有教学经验的教师来说，CELTA课程有120小时的严格培训，并提供自主学习所需要的工具，在获得资格认证后也能继续使用。
A 120-hour CELTA qualification offers rigorous training. Unlike many less in-depth courses, it will also provide you with the tools you need to continue learning autonomously, even after you’ve completed your qualification.
当然，为了保证教师能够按照自己的节奏学习并进行反思，实现自我发展与突破，课程在提供培训师指导与支持以外，剩余的80小时将是个人自学时间。
While you will be guided and supported by your tutors, 80 hours of the course are allotted for self-study. This will also allow you to learn at your own pace and engage in self-reflection – an important part of developing as a teacher.
有经验的教师也能够在CELTA课程中提升自我能力，因为CELTA专注于课堂实践活动和交际语言教学，能够更加全面地补充我们在学院或大学的教师培训中获得的理论知识。对教学实践的反馈，能够帮助我们磨练真实的教学技能，更好地提升自我教学能力，从而让学生获得更好的学习体验。
Experienced teachers can also benefit from a CELTA qualification. CELTA’s focus on practical classroom activities and communicative language teaching complements the knowledge you gained in teacher training at college or university. The feedback on your teaching practice can really help you hone your skills – helping you do an even better job for your learners.
新技能和信心
New skills and confidence
与许多非官方的TEFL资格证书不同，CELTA课程包括了观察教学实践。也即是，有机会与真正的学生群体一起发展教学技能。这种方式能够带给我们更多的信心，帮助我们更轻松地进行线下或线上授课。
Unlike many unofficial TEFL qualifications, the CELTA course includes observed teaching practice. This experience will give you the opportunity to develop your teaching skills with real groups of learners. It will also give you the confidence you need to step into the classroom or teach online lessons as soon as you’ve completed the course.
课程的培训师也会对我们的课程计划和如何改进授课方式进行深度反馈，帮助我们更好地掌握教学必备技能。通过实用性强的课程，我们也能向未来的雇主证明，我们拥有成为一名英语教师所需具备的知识与教学技能，能够提供更加有效和富有吸引力的语言课程，帮助学习者习得英语技能。
Your trainers will give you in-depth feedback on your lesson plans and how you can improve delivery. In addition, by passing the course, you clearly demonstrate to future employers that you have the knowledge and skills it takes to deliver effective and engaging language classes.
为什么这很重要？牛津英语教学学院CELTA培训学校的Luke Worsnop认为：“大多数雇主不会接受缺乏观察教学元素的课程。”
Why is this important? As Luke Worsnop ofCELTA training school Oxford TEFLexplains, ‘most employers don’t accept courses lacking an observed teaching element.’
未经认证的教师培训课程没有标准化的培训水平，虽然有些课程的讲师可能会很优秀，但也可能会碰上缺乏经验和培训资格的。
Unaccredited teacher training courses do not have a standardised level of training. While you may have an excellent instructor on your course, it’s also possible they lack experience and qualifications.
CELTA的课程培训师是一支实力雄厚的队伍，他们均拥有丰富的经验与受到认证的教学资格。想成为CELTA的培训师，必须拥有7级或同等的资格证书，例如TESOL硕士学位或DELTA认证证书，并且需要通过一个深度培训。而这些标准均由剑桥大学进行密切监控，且所有课程都是经过审核的。
At the very least, CELTA trainers must have a Level 7 or equivalent qualification, e.g. a Master’s in TESOL, or a DELTA. They have also been through an in-depth training programme. Standards are monitored closely by Cambridge and all courses are moderated.
职业发展
Career progression
CELTA是新手教师开始英语教学生涯一个非常好的方式，也能帮助有资历的教师提高自身的教学技能。
CELTA is the perfect way to start your English language teaching career, or to improve on the teaching skills you’ve already acquired.
它能够让我们胜任一系列不同的角色，而不是仅仅局限于“英语教师”，我们甚至可以通过它，进入一个新的兴趣领域。例如，如果你考虑长期留在TEFL，也可能有兴趣转到教师培训、管理或其他行业的职位。
It will enable you to take on a range of different roles as an English language teacher and even step into new areas of interest. For example, if you are considering staying in TEFL for the long term, you might also be interested in moving into teacher training, management, materials writing or another position in the industry.
通过CELTA课程的学习，能够帮助我们在教学方法上打下坚实的基础，为进一步的资格认证开辟道路。而这些真实技能的掌握与应用，也将为我们的职业发展选择提供更多可能性。
Offering a firm foundation in teaching methodology, CELTA will also pave the way for further qualifications. It can lead on to the DELTA, for example, which can open the doors to even more exciting career opportunities.
在全球，我们有超过350个授权中心开设CELTA课程。为了帮助更多教师精进自我，CELTA课程涵盖了多种学习方式可供选择。
