Hi Shameem
I am a Leipziger for the past 7 years, quite well networked and have my own company.
I did the first Berlin Celta course, did Dominic or Anthony run it? How are they?
Maybe wanna join my English speaking Stammtisch e-mail list?
How are you finding Leipzig, it is a beautiful village city, innit?
cheers stew.t. |

Hi S
Of course I remember, but did not assume you were one of the same. Glad you took my advice. Helen I know as she was one of the tutors, she was especially critical if I remember. Gui must be new. I also stayed in Martinīs old flat.
And yes it was a hard, but well beneficial, course. Prepares you for the classroom battlefield and minefield of language issues.
Keep in mind the planning is partly for honing this skill, and passing the course. Depending on the style you develop, you will prepare less.
I have become a skills focused, and generative trainer. What I mean by the latter is that I rarely focus on a grammar point as I deal with these when they come up. This is due to the level of my students and if I do then it is down to their request. However I have some Beginner students who want grammar all the time, so I give them some, even if they often question the logic behind the English system.
And if you want send me an e-mail, and you can join our Stammtisch next week for a brew.
cheers stew.t. |

Hi there,
yes I think your method for dealing with grammar points as and when they arise is a good way, especially for upper intermediate+
It's true about Helen being critical, though she was very nice to me - better than Gui anyway! Miartin is still there, he's very nice and approachable.
Yeah I'd like to join your Stammtisch woteva that is (excuse my bad English - lol), it all helps for a newbie at this teaching thing :S
