Hi,

Can you delete the thread I created on the Callan Method on the 'EFL, TEFL, DELTA, CELTA, Teaching Jobs' section please. I have re-posted it on the appropriate 'TEFL' forum. Thanks.

Hello Liz

I am a Physiotherapist with a CELTA certificate. I teach medical English in Poland. The school I work at specialises in teaching to nurses (general, scrubs, ICU, midwifery), doctors (GPs), dentists, physios and radiographers. If I can give you a word of advice. Get a CELTA certificate. You will learn how to teach English with a medical context and not make the mistake of reteaching students radiography or any other medical subject.

Good luck

Chris

As part of the interview, you will be given some language awareness tasks. This is designed to help us assess your ability to analyse your own language. It is not a test of your knowledge of grammar rules. If you don't feel particularly confident, you might want to look at 'English Grammar in Use' (Murphy) or 'Learning Teaching (Scrivener) for the more practical side of teaching.

Hi,

If you don't mind my saying so, I wonder if the point of this test is to assess what you, personally, can do.

Do you really want your instructors to think that your teaching and grammar skills are better than they really are? PerhaPs that means they won't give you the help that you need.

As I said, I don't mean to offend you.

Best wishes, Clive

celta pre-interview :(help me please

Hello. I need some help with celta preinterview task. II know the mistakes,
however, I have no idea how to explain them easily. I'm new
to all teachers' world so please help me :( I've got some ideas for the answers but the biggest problem for me is to explain to students so they understand. could anyone help me please:(Each of the exchanges below contains a mistake. In each case:
a) indicate what the mistake is
b) write in the correct version in the box
c) write, in simple terms, an explanation that the student would understand

1) "I'd like some informations about your courses".
"Certainly, here's our brochure".
informations is a mistake. it is an uncountable noun and plural itself so we don't add "s" to the plural form.
2) "What does your teacher look like?"
"He looks like tall".
looks like is a mistake. we say he is tall. (no idea how to explain that)
3) "What did you do last night?"
"Oh, I watched a very bored programme on television".
bored is a mistake. we say boring. we use the present participle (don't know again)
4) "Why didn't you answer the telephone?"
"Because I had a bath".
I was having a bath..should be.. becase we say the reason?

Imagine you are teaching a multilingual group of 12 adult learners at BEGINNER level.
a)What problems might your students have in (i) understanding,
(ii) pronouncing and (iii) using these items?

i) I've got a headache. (have got..possession?)
ii) comfortable (pronouncing table(as an object of a classroom)
iii) What's the matter?(matter=issue?)

Have you considered taking a DELTA? This could lead you into many different areas including teacher training, product development, more senior teaching roles? I suggest you research it and find out more for yourself. i did this and it really opened doors.
