This is a great decision. The CELTA course will give you not only the accreditation you need in order to find a job as an English teacher, but it will also provide you with the kind of practical knowledge and understanding of what it is to be a good TEFL teacher.
But you are feeling a little apprehensive.
You have been asked to do do a pre-interview task and you are not sure what to study in order to prepare for it.
Have no fear. A "pre-interview task", which is the name used by Cambridge ESOL, is really a test of your knowledge of the English Language.
Most centres will want to know if you have....
a knowlegde of the Grammar of English
ability to analyse language
ability to identify errors made by students
ability to explain simply and clearly
ability to express yourself in writing accurately without errors or grammar, vocabulary, punctuation
ability to express yourself in writing in an organised, logical and economical way
a high enough level of English which would allow you to teach upper level classes
Whether you are a native speaker of English or a non-native speaker, these are abilities and knowledge which will help you to complete the course successfully!
