Hello, fellow educators. I've published a video series titled: How to Find a Decent Teaching Job Abroad (Complete guide). Here's a link: ruclips.net/video/suJvEVysTc0/видео.html&t After completing all three parts of this guide, you will know: 1. 5 websites that will help you get in touch with real schools that are looking for teachers. 2. Advice how to make your resume stand out from the rest. 3. Strategies to void scams and dodgy offers. A lot of hands-on info - stay tuned and get hired.
The thing is that the students have the ambition to learn but in Turkiye mostly adult learners are unwilling to join or make any sentence especially in the classroom
Thanks for the comment Gamze. Low student motivation is a common issue. Have you heard of token economy? Try looking it up and use it in your classroom to incentivize your learners to participate. It works for both young and adult students. Good luck!
Hi Rainy Zion, thanks for stopping by the channel. This will answer your question: This game is a genius communicative idea. Bring a pack or more of playing cards to class. Each game must have 4 sheets that represent the four types of cards - CLUB, DIAMOND, HEART, SPADE. There are questions on each sheet that match the different cards on your playing cards pack. Paste the four sheets with questions on the four walls of the classroom (mind the short students- paste it at a legible height). Students line up and you quickly give them a playing card each. They quickly match the card to a question on one of the four sheets. For example, if they have a card which is 8 SPADE, they go to the SPADE questions sheet, look for question 8, go and ask someone in the class and return to the teacher to report the answer of the student they asked and get another card. The winner is the student who got the most amount of cards from the teacher. Follow the links below to download the templates and also see samples of this activity. The video tutorial is for you to watch and learn how to make yours.

I am an English teacher and have been working in school for five years. I always enjoy teaching my students but I am thinking to give English classes to parents to help them understand basic English. I want to do it but less capable of understanding the steps to do it as they are elder to me. Could you help me out on it?
Hello Bigyan Rai, thanks for stopping by the channel. You will be surprised that a lot of adult learners of English will feel more comfortable with a teacher younger than them. In terms of steps, try to meet their language needs i.e. take advantage of the fact that they are adults and can articulate why they study the language. Then gear your lessons to their needs. Does it make sense?
Hello Kevin, thanks for stopping by the channel. There are two things to keep in mind when thinking about TESOL and CELTA and how they can affect your career prospects. First, very few schools/employees know the difference between the two. What they care about is that you are qualified to do your job. They school will never say "We are hiring you because you have a CELTA" or "We are not interested in you because you only have TESOL". They look at you as a whole i.e. your professionalism, past experience, photo on your resume, etc. So in this case, TESOL and CELTA are equal - they both get their job doe which is get you qualified to teach English as a foreign language. Second, while TESOL get you certified, CELTA can actually prepare you for the classroom experience because of sheer amount of hours you spend with real students while completing CELTA. And that's the biggest difference. If I were to choose between two candidates, I would go for a CELTA certified candidate because they are more likely to be ready for an actual job. But that's just me - any other person cannot care less whether you have CELTA or TESOL. Now, if you really wanna stand out from the crowd, go for a teaching license. I am working on a video about this one.
teach & travel : Thank you kindly for the prompt and informative response. I appreciate it! I’m an Australian qualified early childhood and primary school teacher. I’ll have a look at your video on getting a teaching license. I like your videos. All the best!
Hello! It would be very helpful if you answer these questions: 1 what level of English is required for CELTA, I really want to do it. Since I am not a native speaker with level high intermediate I am afraid. I have some experience in teaching English in my country,and do it well :). But my students had elementary level. Do the students pay money for those practice lessons? 2.I read that during the CELTA trainees teach 6 lessons, but looks like more. How many lessons actually we have to give? Thank you in advance!
Hello Lubitel Klassnih Klipov, thanks for your questions. Below are my responses. In terms of level of English, it is recommended that your level of English is close to that of a native speaker i.e. C1/C2 on a CEFR scale. However, I've met a lot of non-native speakers of English who passed CELTA - many of them seemed to be at B2 in terms of English language proficiency. Keep in mind though, that as a ESL/EFL teacher you are expected to model the proper usage/grammar/pronunciation of the English language - it is one of the criteria you will be scored against during the CELTA course i.e. how accurately you model for your students. To the best of my knowledge, students I had during CELTA didn't have to pay for the lessons. In fact, some of students were refugees. You are required to teach 6 observed lessons at two different levels e.g. I taught 3 lessons to Elementary group and 3 to Intermediate. In addition to those 6 lessons, you observe all lessons taught by members of your cohort and complete observation assignments. I hope this info helps!
Damn I hate those demo lessons! It all is freakingly uncomfortable for the teacher, when students don't give a F, as usual. Well, CELTA classes are odd to say the least, they may work for Indian groups or whatever the country where folk barely understand the structure of English, but such classes will definitely not do any good for an average russian client - yes, we Russians are a total mess. Therefore, am not going to do CELTA whatsoever, it is odd, bizarre and, to some extent, schizophrenic. Am just saying, do not rant with me over this please 🙏👍 thank you. But it is useful to watch ✊👦
Hello Anton Medvedev, thank you for taking your time to leave comment. FYI The adults that you see in the demo lesson are refugees who are required to take English lessons to pass immigration requirements.
@@edtechii I get it ✊ You take care 👍 I bet CELTA is not a bed of roses and you must've gone through a rather peculiar experience but hey you've done it, anyways. 👍
Hello Li伍叁九, thanks for stopping by the channel. While it may seem like an easy thing to do, effective English teaching (especially if it's your native tongue) is often a counter-intuitive and difficult task that requires a special training and guided practice (on top of just being a foreigner).

Which qualification will give one more opportunities to teach English? TESOL or CELTA?

hot teacher but lesson lacks clarity.
Teachers too stressed out it transfer over to student fogging comprehension.
Hey Samphors, thanks for your comment. Yeah, I was a bit nervous, and it definitely rubbed off on the students' performance.
Ne ploho (y)
that teacher is seeeeeeeeriously fine 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hi jo eng, thanks for your lovely comment!
"please go back to seats"
That's why one of the areas of improvement identified on my completition certificate was to work on the accurate model of the language ;)
His grammar is not correct. Interesting video though.
That's ridiculously boring 🥺

You take care 👍

In terms of effort and time, CELTA is nothing compared to US teaching license.
All foreigners can be English teacher ? easy money huh
