CELTA, Thurs. 2 Oct.

The first week of the course seems to be over.almost 20 percent!! But just 20 !!!

It's been really great up to now but too many things to do, to many sheets to fill in, too many lessons to plan, too many assignments to write and to many things to keep in mind and learn!!

The trainers are really helpful and we are really learning.

It is hard to quit our old and seemingly wrong teaching habits because most of us are experienced teachers with our own teaching behaviours!

As I said before, I am in a group of six. And we had our first TP performed in an Upper Intermediate class. The main problem was the fact that we all had to teach in just 2 sessions of an hour and fifteen minutes, So time management and shifting from one teacher to another seemed to be really problematic. But the group worked well and the observers were amazed of our smooth shiftings!! Well, we had spent hours planning that!

I have started my first assignmet and I have already chosen a learner for my learner profile. The deadline is too close for both and I have to work hard!

I warmly welcome your helpful hints....Do not hesitate to give me one!!!!
