CELTA Experience (Day 18)

I was super busy this morning because I needed to finish my lesson plan for my last Teaching Practice (TP) today, TP8. Yeay! I did start planning the lesson last night, but there were some parts of it which were not completed yet. 

Coincidently, I didn't have to reach the campus at English Language Teaching Center (ELTC) at 9:30 am as usual, so I could take a remote interpretation assignment for two hours for Asian Football Confederation. 

It wasn't too busy today since we had only one input session 'Teaching in different context', and it turned out to be about teaching English exams, one of which is IELTS (International English Language Testing System). I've had some experience in both taking and teaching the exam to share with my CELTA colleagues. It's interesting how the Tutor delivered the lesson by assigning to have a look at the real IELTS exam paper to be analyzed and discussed guided by some questions. 

For TP8, I did it today with George. He taught a lesson about going to space and it was very interesting. Students were all excited and engaged in the discussion. After him, I started my lesson by playing a guessing game briefly. Overall, my lesson today is about making speculations about what happened in the past (must/may/might/can't have + past participle). As always, I did my best at all stages of the lesson. In the Freer Practice stage, I had Students practice the Target Language by using dice to be rolled and some pictures to be described. 

Unlike the previous TPs where we also talked about what to work on in the next TP, this time we talked about how George and I have improved from TP1 to TP8. I received a lot of positive feedback from the Tutor and Colleagues. Also, I was thrilled for passing my 4th Assignment Language Skill Related Assignment. It wasn't an easy one. 

Congratulations for me!
