It was an effective course for me. Although I have been teaching English for a long time, I learned lots of new techniques and approaches. I recommend that every English teacher should take this course. The course provided us good opportunities on Moodle, but I prefered to have more input lessons with our tutor before TPs. Live classes were really useful and helpful for me. In TPs, lessons were connected to each other. In one of my TPs, my peer had a problem with internet connection, so I had to take the class. In the lesson I taught , students should have known the words in the previous lesson. It was ok for me, but in some situations this may be a problem. I'd like to thank to Liz. Whenever I wrote to Liz no matter what the subject is, she tried to answer my questions immediately. Also, I want to thank to Özlem and Sultan . They are very valuable tutors. Their feedback after each tp were very precious for me.
CELTA is the most intensive and demanding teacher training that I've ever had. But, thanks to all the tutors kind help and guidance from ITI, I achieved it at the end. Plus, the kindness and supportive ITI team is the great advantage of the whole course. I couldn't imagine my ESL journey without this CELTA training. Intensive, stressful and exhausting, but at the end, absolutely worth it.
ITI's CELTA part-time (12 weeks): 1) Extremely demanding: I could never have imagined how much time and effort it required. Don't consider it part-time. 2) Extremely rewarding: one of the best courses I have ever taken. 3) Tutors: supportive, knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure to learn from. Note: The instruction on the handouts and to-do lists were generally confusing for me and unfortunately I got into the habit of asking for clarification little bit late. So, make sure you ask everything and anything you're not sure about.
It was an extremely wonderful experience. I've learned a lot of new things such as sources, how to teach appropriately and so on.
It has been a great experience and I have learnt lots of practical ideas and got very effective and constructive feedbacks. The tutors are friendly and supportive. I feel lucky to have this training in ITI.
