Naima came to the CELTA course with a significant background in language teaching, as well as a degree in TEFL. Her previous accomplishments notwithstanding, she felt the need to further improve her language teaching ability by taking the CELTA course.
Her previous experience showed through from the start of the course in her ability to create and maintain strong contexts, put her students at ease, and create natural, friendly, and supportive interactions with them. During the course, she made tremendous progress in planning lessons around specific systems and skills aims, using student-centered language clarification techniques, and making her teacher talk brief and economical, without losing out on her excellent rapport with her students.
Her progress translated into a very strong result on the course. We are proud of her achievement, and are certain she will excel in her future language teaching pursuits. Great work, Naima!
