Planning for my first taught ESL lesson......
Ok.. FIRST WEEK.
It has been pretty light actually... the Fronter site is not so friendly but it is pretty complete, instructions are very explicit and every doubt you could have is being answered as you turn pages!
As you may know.. you dont have to have experience teaching or be a native speaker to take this certification, so everything is really good explained... So far we are in unit 1, what you need to know about the learners and how can you help them, how to get their attention in a class and how to make their intrinsic learner (they will teach u what this is) grow!
CELTA wesbsite we will be using...
CELTA Pre Course Task & Interview
Before getting accepted into the course, I applied via e-mail and they sent me like pre-course task, it was very basic, I think anyone can do it, since I did and I don’t have a lot of experience teaching and my native language is not English. The word doc. had about 3 pages with exercises such as: correct the sentence, correct the verb tenses, stressed syllables, and 3 personal questions.
A week later they sent me an email informing me about a skype interview with one of British Council’s CELTA teacher. I got a little anxious since I didn’t know much about grammar, rules, exceptions, etc.! I read many blogs and they all said not to worry, that It was mostly personal interview, and to check the pre course task with us! So I didn’t worry, and it all went perfectly fine! The tutor told me that CELTA takes in advanced teachers but also people with no experience at all, that they just want to see how we manage a conversation, the way we express ourselves and to go over the task to see if we really did it!
