Default Re: Celta course

Hi
I am new to this forum, found it when I was looking up an activity for the Olympic games lesson plan.
Anyway I too was thinking of doing a Celta, mainly to get the paper. I think Celta is the way to go.
I am procrastinating though. Because I have been teaching in China for 7 years now and I am never short of work and people have told me that the things they learnt doing the Celta just didn't seem to fit the Chinese classroom.
Like the previous poster wrote she taught first and then did the Celta. I wish I had done the Celta first instead of learning the hard way but now I have got to the stage on my own, of knowing what works and what doesn't. I keep developing my lesson plans. It's a work in progress.
I have a huge resource library now. I would like to do the course but I have no time.
Also I would have to go to Shanghai or Beijing for a month.
In the back of my mind though I think that it would be challenging and give me some feedback on my teaching methods.
Maybe next year.
