WHAT IS C.I.T.E?
Certificate for International Teachers of English
The Anglia CITE exam is designed to give competent teachers of
English a chance to obtain international recognition for their
language skills, knowledge and experience
Teaching young learners and teaching older and/or higher-level
learners requires different language levels, theory and practice.
Therefore, there are two types of CITE exams:
CITE General Exam
CITE Young Learners Exam
Review of sample papers at www.anglia.org should help a candidate
decide which one is the most appropriate
CITE works on the same principle as any other test of English for
special purposes: the special purpose in this case is the teaching of
English
C.I.T.E

language skills needed for teaching (including pedagogical
skills)
CITE adds an important UK qualification to your CV
The Certificate shows future employers that you have “gone
the extra mile”
Passing a CITE exam will also help you becoming an
effective EFL teacher as preparation for it involves refreshing
your knowledge of up-to-date modern teaching methods (from
