I have 2 question today so i might be cheating a bit, firstly is CELTA the same as TEFL and if not what is the main difference?

Secondly, I have been preparing a class today from a text book and I have come across a sentence that I think needs examining - the sentence reads, "This is the most exciting holiday I ever have". Now is it my imagination or is this wrong? Can anyone clarify my doubt please.

Thanks in advance.

B!!   

Hi there,

TEFL is a group of qualifications, within which CELTA is the most/one of the most respected and is accredited by Cambridge University.

From the Cambridge website at http://www.cambridgeesol.org/exams/teaching-awards/celta.html

"'TEFL' or 'TESOL' are terms often used to describe qualifications for English Language teachers. CELTA, the best known and most widely taken initial TESOL/TEFL qualification of its kind in the world, was previously known as CTEFLA and the 'RSA certificate'."

As for the sentence "This is the most exciting holiday I ever have", it is most certainly wrong and should read "I have ever had" or "I ever have had".

I have come across quite a few textbooks with errors like this in them and find it very bizarre that it could get through the proof-reading process but...?
