CELTA Feedback

Along the course,
the feedback change our ideas.
And within we can predict what they will say.
So according to the feedback
we improve our production.
It's incredible how our mind reacts.
First we listen and accept badly the feedback.
Later we listen in way that is part of the game.
And then we almost predict what they probably might say.
It' s an interesting but painful way to learn.

input - then one hour then Ss arrive.
When finished the classes they go out - I know that when the doors are closed they are talking about the trainees.

In order to put things clear during the observation class, that's the moment when the trainers are talking about the trainees and when they arrive it's the feedback moment. If you replies about thinking that something would change, forget it. 

2. Anticipated problems

When you say Ss are going to have trouble pronouncing words, say which words and add the transcription of the possible mistake. Your third problem is confusing, as there is no practice In a reading lesson.

There is just one problem has to do with reading. Please add one more.

3. language analysis

Except the nouns, the items you have selected to introduce seem to be a bit below the level of these Ss. Make sure there isn't any other item worth introducing. Also, include transitivity in verb forms.

Besides, please review the session on CCQ's and improve yours. Questions like 'How is this place?' are both grammatically inappropriate, and incorrect in terms of checking the concept.

4. Procedures

a. Avoid using time bands. Provide each stage with a probable timing.

b. Be more descriptive. Include the answers to tasks and how you intend to collect feedback from Ss.

C. What you label 'set the scene' is part of the lead in. 'Set the scene' takes place right before the text phase of the lesson. It is missing in your plan.

D. Include interaction and timing for the last stage of your lesson.

5. General

Remember this is an intermediate group formed by reasonably strong students. Remember the projector image in the room you will teach is a bit faint, which may make it more difficult for Ss to see pictures. Make them big, if you intend to use them.

Besides, double check all target language in terms of meaning and pronunciation.

I won't be with you this time, but I am sure you will look at your plan, change it accordingly and deliver a great lesson.
