IHCYLT Course and Certificate

The IH certificate in teaching Young Learners and Teenagers (IHCYLT) is an in-service qualification for CELTA (or equivalent) trained teachers to develop their skills in teaching 6-17 year olds. 

Awarded by International House and moderated by Cambridge English Language Assessment, you can count on the high quality and standards of this internationally recognized qualification.

The course’s objective is to introduce trainees to the principles behind successful YL teaching as well as it’s practical application in the classroom. Trainees develop their skills over the duration of the course via input sessions, teaching practice, observations, feedback and evaluation and written assignments.

The course will be delivered completely online. Please note that like all of our online Teacher Training courses, this course is 100% live. Trainees and tutors are together as a group in real-time for the duration of the course.

Structure

  • 30 hours of input sessions which cover areas such as Child Development, Clarifying and Practising Language, L1 in the classroom, Teaching Adolescents, Material Design and Selection.
  • 6 hours of observation of experienced YL teachers and peers.
  • 3 hours of assessed teaching practice. This essential part of the course allows trainees to demonstrate that they are able to put the theory presented in the input sessions into practice.
  • Over 8 hours of assisted lesson planning, feedback and tutorials. Lesson planning is an important part of the course in which trainees must demonstrate the thought process behind their planning and show awareness of the theory presented in the input sessions. Trainees are supported in lesson planning by the tutor.

Thank you again for the excellent tutoring of our IHCYLT course. Thank you for your dedication and passion to make us better teachers. You made a significant contribution to my growth and development as a future teacher. 

I have not had any Young Learner teaching experience before the IHCYLT course and within the two short and intense weeks, I have really gained confidence to start on my endeavour to switch careers from being a consumer goods marketeer, consultant and key account manager to becoming an ESL teacher. I am looking forward to impacting students’ lives just as you have impacted mine. 

I really appreciate your feedback and all the useful tips and tidbits that you shared with us. Thank you for your advice and guidance, for inspiring, listening and helping me to become a better version of myself. 

I am sad that this course passed so quickly but am looking forward to what lies ahead!

International House Journal

A publication by International House World Organization whose original intention was to provide a forum for debate, a platform for creating new ideas and re-floating old ones, debunking myths and generally generate a sense of adventure for people teaching TEFL or teaching English as a second language.

The IH Journal is designed to be readable but serious, though always with room to be lighthearted as well. IH World Organization is always on the lookout for new materials, ideas, papers, photos and articles. If you are a language teaching expert, teacher trainer or teacher from within the IH network or beyond and would like to contribute to the IH Journal, they would be delighted to hear from you.
