I had taken the TKT certificate last May from the British Council by Jill Davidson. She trained 20 UNRWA teachers for module three with the following topics :
Managing the teaching and learning process which has two parts :
Part 1- Teachers' and learners' language in the classroom.
Part 2- Classroom management.
It was a great opportunity to learn and to exchange knowledge as the trainer Mrs Jill was very enthusiastic and had such an interesting style .After we passed the exam every teacher had to go back to his/her school and to train the other teachers and to transfer the experience. The training itself was very interesting and useful as other teachers also had the chance to gain knowledge. I organised a demonstration lesson after the workshop to give teachers the chance to watch the real practice of some new games and techniques e.g. running dictaion, whispering dictation. loop dictation , hot seat and many interesting things.
A nother workshop will be held next semester. I look forward to the new experience and hope it will be a succesful one.

I enjoyed module 2 as well. Jill Davidson is an amazing trainer. Her main trait is this: she plans absolutely everything, but when she starts the session, you just feel that the activities are spontaneous!! I can't explain how but perhaps she has this magic.. she makes everybody feel at ease and the activities run so smoothly..
ReplyDeleteYou asked us about our mentors Michael, yes Jill , my head teacher Itaf Al-Kasaji, Mr Bassam Saleh and you are the ones.
The four of you are so inspiring

I haven't attended this workshop with Jill but I can tell how amazing her classes because this was reflected in the workshop Fatima held at our school.
ReplyDeleteI was one of the teachers who attended Fatima's workshop and it was amazing for two reasons; that I had the chance to meet you Fatima. Though at the same school (different shifts) but we never talked to each other before. Second, because I added too much fun to my pocket as a teacher.
Waiting for the next workshop Fatima :)
I attended the TkT course with Jill too. (module 3) it was fantastic!!! i go with both comments above!
ReplyDeletewell done! She's really inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you all.. I respect Jill's dedication and hard work.. We learn how much we as teachers need to be very well-prepared when we get into the classroom; this shows how much respect you have for your students , your mission as a teacher and above all to yourself!!

Thanks a lot dear Ala'. It was a very interesting experience for me as a trainee with Mrs Jill then as a trainer in my school. I was happy to see my colleagues interested and involved in the workshop. I promise I will do my best the next training.
