CELTA - Jesus wept - help me please!
Posted: Sat Oct 02, 2004 6:01 pm
I'm doing the entensive Celta course. On day 2 we were expected to do up our very very technical lesson plans for the following week.
I had 'Reading Text' as stage 1 but the trainer corrected that to 'Reading' along with a dozen other "corrections".
I didn't mind that so much except that the front page of the lesson plan has a section entitled:
Anticipated language / skills difficulties for the student
I haven't a clue how to fill this out. I have to teach a reading text class on Ted Simon from the Workout (Advanced) book. How can someone who has no real (taught some TEFL 4 years ago) teaching experience tell what difficulties a student may have? I'm not a linguistics expert nor an Anthropologist nor Noam Chomsky.
Some of the people in my class have no TEFL teaching experience whatsoever and don't know where to begin.
HELP!
