Beginning the first CELTA week
First things first: General Admin: Signing and familiarising with the CELTA5 booklet, assignments, observation requirements and TP (teaching practice) structure and record. Creation of each trainee’s portfolio. Then onto some activities: Ice breakers, also with tutors, as models for tomorrow’s first TP lessons, and creation of 2 TP groups and activity allocation. Input sessions : Foreign language lesson and Classroom Management Trainees (Ts)motivated and excited about first TP tomorrow: only 20mins each. Ts really asking some pertinent questions and coming up with insightful answers too, which I’m delighted to see happening right from the first day!!
