Wow, the first day went like lightning...phew the group was really good and everyone here is motivated to do well. I have nothing but good things to say about my group, as they all bring with them skills and personalities that will keep the rest of us going. I like the fact we all come from different backgrounds, so the variety will only add to the journey of striving to all do our best on the CELTA journey. Got to go as those assignments won't do themselves.....

Where's The Wind?

Along the shore,
Above the sea,
Through the leaves,
Toward you and me;

Over the boardwalk,
Under the kite,
Beneath the sun,
Throughout the night!

Day 1 was a whirlwind of new information and new people! We are diving right into understanding and creating lesson plans as well as fostering our four-week community of learners-to-be-teachers. We also met with our real world students and I am excited to help them all achieve new levels of English language comprehension.

Advice so far:
JUST KEEP BREATHING. And keep an eye on the trainers/tutors - they're teaching in the style we are learning!

Hello Boston CELTA June 13 Classmates:

When I go to Groups/My Groups, it offers to add a group but there is no way to choose.

Thanks
Elizabeth

My personal goal is to become fully comfortable in front of a class. I want to be a knowledgeable and competent teacher. I think that to be fully comfortable as the teacher, I need have all aspects of the teaching skill-set under my belt. This means being knowledgeable, prepared, and assured in my ability to provide an excellent lesson for the students.

I would be interested in applying for a job at ABC Language Exchange. The organization is located in New York City, and has excellent online reviews. I would like to stay in New York City for a period of time before going abroad and I believe this would be a good institution to apply my newly acquired skills.
