This 8th Cambridge Teaching Awards (CETA) Symposium was held at ITI Istanbul on September 9th and 10th 2023. The CETA Symposium brings together tutors, assessors and moderators from centres worldwide to provide an opportunity to share experiences of delivering the Cambridge English Teaching Awards, primarily DELTA, CELTA, and TKT.

The Symposium provides a forum to share ‘good practice’ among course providers, discuss current issues and problems encountered in course delivery and to learn about new innovations in the field. It also provides a platform to ‘voice’ ideas and consider future directions. This years’ Symposium was particularly important  as we emerge from the pandemic and training courses are being adapted to both online and face to face formats and decisions taken now that will shape the future direction of the Cambridge Teaching Awards.

The CETA Symposium addressed a range of topics as well as the perennial issues such as feedback, observations, TP students, presentations also addressed the challenges of new technology such as AI and Chat GPT, social and emotional competences and modernising the DELTA. We also had a special preview of a documentary film depicting the experiences of the CELTA course from the paticipants’ perspective.
