Only one more lesson to go...
Todays lesson (number six of seven) did not go particularly well. I got a "meets the standard, but only just" rating and review. It could have been great, but just didn't quite work out. Things moved to slowly. I let students talk for waaaay too long and ended up running 5 minutes over the allotted time, even after dropping one exercise completely and truncating another.
*shrug* We live, we learn, we suffer.
The assessor's pretty nice actually. Pretty pretty too. (I suspect a bit of Goth in her past). English born I think, but operating out of Prague these days. We chatted briefly before my lesson, and then the entire training group had a 20 minute sit-down "feel free to comment on CELTA/the tutors/this school etc". We could see the schools managers peering out of their office window across the lobby and in at us in the teachers room, looking quite nervous, but in actuality there were no real complaints. A few generic comments, some light praise, but no whinging. I think everyone in the group knew what they were getting in to when they signed up for Europe's best budget CELTA package (There's a googleable phrase for you).
