      Experiences in Teaching
      Submitted by mverdera on 4 June, 2008 - 19:04

      I am a week away from beginning my CELTA course. It will be very intensive. I have been reviewing several sites and teaching methods to be able to keep up with the course. Besides that I have English Students in the early morning and at night, so I should be very tired by the end of the of the class.

      I finished the course and went on Holiday.  It was intense and the rest was welcomed.  I have just begun to teach now in Bogota, Colombia.  At the end of course I just felt numb.  But now that sometime has past I feel good about my experience with the CELTA course and happy that I did it through the British Council.  The course covered a lot and it pays to look back at your notes or handouts to begin incorporating what was taught in class. 

      Mainly the course has made me more student centered.  I now can pause and wait for understanding without feeling that I have to continue.  I have had experience with the Hallon method of teaching and find that course is good for absolute beginners, but for a fluent natural approach, the CELTA cambridge method is the most effective for the learning of whatever language one is trying to learn.
