Observations：Observations of real classes, demonstration lessons with CELTA classmates, and training in teaching methods form the core components of our learning journey. During the demonstration lessons, we will gain insights into class content and receive diverse feedback, all of which will be instrumental in refining our approach for subsequent demo lessons. This iterative process ensures continuous improvement and a more enriching educational experience.
‍
Feedback：After completing the demo lesson, provide feedback to your CELTA classmate. Throughout the course, CELTA trainers introduce various teaching methods and share their impressions with the participants. Each student will have the chance to conduct a demo lesson, receiving valuable advice and feedback from both trainers and classmates. This process ensures a comprehensive learning experience, allowing for continuous improvement in teaching techniques.
‍
Input Sessions：CELTA trainers provide guidance on various aspects of English teaching methodology. Examples include lesson planning, language acquisition, grammar teaching, pronunciation and vocabulary.The above will be learned as a research topic in class.
‍
Written Assignments：Writing assignments are a mandatory component of the CELTA course. These assignments vary each time, yet consistently feature a writing lesson encapsulated within 750 to 1,000 characters. The structure comprises a comprehensive lesson plan alongside a written segment that encapsulates conclusions drawn from posed questions. Additionally, assignments entail the submission of observation and consideration summary reports pertaining to the demonstration lessons conducted by fellow students. Furthermore, a self-analysis of the demo lessons you have undertaken will be expected as part of the assignment submission.
