Language Centre Polyglot |
Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine |
Taking the CELTA at Polyglot was one of the best academic experiences I’ve ever had. I genuinely loved every moment of it! The tutors were not only highly skilled but also incredibly approachable, supportive, and caring, making the entire process with all it's overwhelming workload and sleepless nights so much more enjoyable and enriching. I especially appreciated the planning and teaching workshops provided before each TP—they made such a difference and really helped us grow as teachers. It’s only been a few days since I finished, and I already miss everyone so much. I’m beyond excited at the thought of doing my DELTA here someday.
I'm very happy to have participated in Centre Polyglot. I want to thank my tutors for helping me upgrade my knowledge in this field and I'm specially greatful for their support during the course.
The course, in general, is very fruitful. There is loads of helpful information; even teachers who have just started teaching can participate in this course. I'm a beginner at teaching, and I enjoyed the course. I have learned many new teaching techniques, for instance, how to raise students' interest at the beginning of the lesson, how to reduce TTT, and how to correct students' mistakes without offending them. I became more confident during the class. I looked at the books from another prospect and understood what I needed to do in my lessons.
I find the course an amazing experience in my life. The input sessions were full of insightful information presented in an interactive way. Lesson observations (both live and recorded) provided me with an opportunity to see how theory is put into practice in a real-life lesson. During workshops I saw other participants make my mistakes and progress at the same time. These were the precious moments where our theoretical knowledge had to be brought to life. The most valuable thing was that I could understand the rationale of my actions, see how varied my choice is in terms of selection of the following steps. Real lessons showed me that something on my plan and a real lesson can be 2 different things. I valued the choices I have to make. Feedback sessions helped me to analyze whether changes were worth the effort and consolidate the knowledge. Assisted TPs were the time to test how well I learned my lesson from the previous TPs.
The course was challenging enough! Tutors were supportive and encouraging! The course is worth taking for both novices and experienced teachers as you will get feedback and meet wonderful colleagues!
