Default Re: CELTA Course in Korea

Hello all,

It is now all over. I have finished my CELTA Course.

It was really really hard and I learnt so much from the Course. I am already planning to transfer the skills I learnt from the course into the workplace.

I am already changing the way I teach and offer a more student centred approach to the Korean classroom. This will be so rare for Korean English Schools and most Korean teachers prefer the teacher centred approach. Due to cultural and historical belief in the teaching system (which has been in place since the late '60s) it is more a teacher centred approach. Their thinking is:

Teaching = Learning

But this is not the case.

I hope that I can learn more about child education in Korea and apply more beneficial areas for language learning.

Again, for fear of repetition, I belief that the CELTA Course is really beneficial and the cost is fully outweighed by the benefits of the course. If anyone has any questions , please ask and I shall try to answer.

Btw, I have passed with the grade "Pass B".
