Bringing the World Closer
YOUR FIRST ASSIGNMENT!
Hello everyone!
Congratulations on completing your first task: successfully logging in to www.myteachinghouse.com.
I have a few more tasks for you to complete—it may take about an hour or two. Please read the instructions below and complete it before next Monday.
Directions: All written answers must be posted on this thread (First Assignment) within the discussion forum in your course group. Since there are many of you, it's important to post only on this thread (click "Reply to This" at the bottom) so that we can keep the forum from getting full and messy-looking. However, if you have any other comments or questions you are welcome to start a new thread.
1. If you haven’t already, edit your profile with your current location, status and photo.
2. Browse through our international directory of English language schools (hover over "RESOURCES" in the toolbar at the top of the page and click "SCHOOL DIRECTORY" ). Post the name of a school that you think you might be interested in applying to after the course, and (briefly) why you liked that school.
3. Go to Course Forms button and find a word from one of the glossaries that you do not know.
4. Post one idea or recommendation for MyTeachingHouse.com.
5. Post a personal goal related to taking our Teaching House CELTA course.
6. Post a comment about someone else’s comments, for example, “Lizzy, I agree with your comment about the job listings section…” or “Abby, I saw that you wanted to work in Paris. I was thinking about that myself—is it hard to find work in France?” If you're one of the first people to post, come back later with a comment after your peers have caught up.
Good luck and keep coming back to our site!
You can email me at iulia@ihboston.com if you have any questions.
See you all soon!

EF English First
Russian Federation
This school has the most straightforward website. I was interested in this school because of the range of students I could possibly teach, and the different school settings (rural to metropolitan). A few other schools I looked into seemed to be offering more Russian study courses than English study. In addition, I feel terribly unqualified for many teaching positions since I do not have a degree in Education.3.
Cuisenaire Rods
Although I have heard of this technique I cannot understand the purpose of it.4.
Organizationally, I think there is too much stuff on the home page. There’s a lot going on, and I find it overwhelming because the things I need to find are not in immediate view. Under my name, it would be useful to have a direct link to my group’s page.5.
Attain more (or any) confidence in my teaching and other capabilities. -
