After 4 weeks, the day has finally arrived: the final day.
Last night, I slept the least amount I had ever slept during this course (4.5 hours). It took me so long to prepare for this lesson.
Then, it didn't turn out as well as I had hoped:
I had to skip a kinesthetic activity I spent a lot of time preparing.
I got lost part-way through the lesson (i.e., Where am I? What's next?).
I made-up one stage of the lesson. I thought I had prepared something for it, but I didn't. So I just winged-it.
At least I was able to get through the lesson. The students got the target language (words to express comparisons and contrasts) and were able to use it well--even correcting each other.
That was my final observed teaching practice lesson. Whoa.
After 4 weeks, the day had finally arrived.
One of the teachers who works at the British Council told us that the time would go by quickly. Before we knew it, the course would be over. We laughed at him. He was right. It feels as though we were here for years, but we had learned so much in 4 weeks, that it does feel like 4 years...
...and it is over.
I'm going to miss my CELTA course-mates. We have made lots of fun memories and friendships I hope to maintain and continue.
Good luck and GOD's blessings on your future English-teaching careers!
