@Marisa_C @FrancesEales I think there's a strong case 4 building on reflection. Seems to be more upfront in TT than class teaching. #eltchat |

9:44 PM |
@elawassell ah with you...agree! Feedback is invaluable from yrvtainer and yr ss too..#eltchat |
| Shaunwilden |

@rapple18 you're right there is a helluva lot of reflection in TT #ELTchat |

@seburnt #eltchat Agree - I started my career doing TT work for publishers but then got an in-house trainer job for a school |

@natibrandi #eltchat those are the passes #ELTchat |

I think training up trainers should include having trainers watch the students (not just trainees) when trainees teach. #eltchat |

@Shaunwilden Watch the students reactions,&how trainees are responding to the students. Not just the technical things trainees do. #eltchat |
| natibrandi |
9:46 PM |
@shaznosel @elawassell #eltchat and do u think videotaping lessons works best for giving feedback? |
| Shaunwilden |
9:46 PM |
@eltknowledge watch them for what? #ELTchat |
| seburnt |
9:47 PM |
Good idea. Perhaps have diff trainees look for diff things during observation. @eltknowledge #eltchat |
| Shaunwilden |
9:47 PM |
@eltknowledge but surely a good trainer does that anyway? #ELTchat |
| Shaunwilden |
9:47 PM |
@rapple18 i've seen a fair bit of variety in sessions of the years , i guess each brings their own take #ELTchat |
| shaznosel |
9:47 PM |
@seburnt so where would u say I gained this experience..a MA/ DELTA or just exp and reflection with peers. #eltchat |
| shaznosel |
9:48 PM |
@eltknowledge really... But if I was a trainee I d want to be videod cause it would help me..a true reflection of u! #eltchat |

@Shaunwilden A good trainer, yes. But when training up trainers, we often forget about this aspect of training. #eltchat |

@shaznosel I'm the same. But a lot of people have a fear of watching or listening back to a recording of themselves. Shy? #eltchat |

@shaznosel Maybe I misund. ur Q. ;S MA/DELTA are both valuable & viewed diff by diff contexts. #eltchat |

Watching urself at any career stage is enlightening! MT @shaznosel: @eltknowledge But if I was a trainee Id want to be videod ... #eltchat |

I think i improved loads by watching myself on video #Eltchat it's a great tool but often not enough time to use when doing FB for 3 Ts |

@shaznosel @seburnt or even be in the right place at the right time?#eltchat |

@Shaunwilden Great! When I was being trained, no one taught me to do so. Could I steal your session? #eltchat |
| seburnt |
9:51 PM |
Trainees can give feedback to themselves from videos. :) @Marisa_C #eltchat |
| Marisa_C |
9:51 PM |
Nowadays I tend to videotape snippets and this we have time to watch on the spot #ELTchat can email or upload them for trainees |
| eltknowledge |
9:51 PM |
@Marisa_C Yep! I wish we had more feedbk time on the CELTA when we can watch back lessons and reflect together. #eltchat |
| Shaunwilden |

@eltknowledge when i used to train up new celta tutors yes I had a task on it #ELTchat |

@seburnt see yr point but in Greece..schools don' t want anyone 'interfering' and making suggestions! #eltchat |
| natibrandi |

@eltknowledge thats what I think Go beyond the procedure Who says this is how you should check concepts?theory or learners show it? #eltchat |
| Shaunwilden |
9:52 PM |
@Marisa_C yes the ease of videoing these days is a real bonus in teacher training #ELTchat |

To train up as a CELTA tutor you have to shadow one or more courses (depending on tt experience)and produce a trainer portfolio #ELTchat |

@rapple18 @shaznosel agree #eltchat I´d say good TTs tell if lessons are conducive to learning by observing student´s reactions and trainee |
