I feel sick of it all

Im really not making any head way with it whats so ever any more. Lesson plans have got me completely lost. I have 4 of the videos left and a chunk of the last moduel in the online course. I know i have 10 days left of the course. and i know this is really plenty of time to do it - but i've lost all hope and feel totally useless   :(

Anyone got any help please! Ive extended already the course so i can finish it - but i feel like banging me head against a brick wall im just totally STUCK!   :(

Hey. How are you? I thought i was the only one who was totally lost with the assignment. I finished my first module in a day though but the rest is quite confusing,lesson plan and all..you know what i'm talking about. So where exactly you got stuck?


Imran.

Hey Gemma,


How's the course going for you?


George.

Hey,


 


Don't worry - just make sure you're following your tutor's feedback when you resubmit. If you're not clear on anything your tutor has said to you, just drop an email to helpdesk@tefl-training.com asking for clarification and they'll sort it out for you. Don't be too scared of failing a third time. If this does happen your case will be passed to our Online Director of Studies, Thomas Kerr to see whether it's OK to give you another chance. As long as you're making an effort and taking your tutor's comments on board I'm sure he'll be fine to let you have another crack at it - we've had some people be given 8 or 9 tries before eventually getting it right!


 


Good luck!

Hey Astrid


 


Dont worry about getting in touch if you get stuck - although i have no promise to be able to help LOL Ive really stuggled on the gammar as well - who knew english was so hard!


 


Take care

Hi Gemma,


Hope your well.


I've just completed Part 1 of Check Point 2. I've had a hard time with the actual grammar quiz questions, so moved onto something else.


Are you still thinking of working in Europe once you've completed the course?


Keep in touch and I hope you won't mind if I call for help from time to time.. :)


Astrid

Hi Gemma,


 


I've completed all the grammar & the first 60 hours. I'm now up to check point three in the next 60 hours...I know exactly what you mean with the head spinning bit...my brain is now officially melting!!


 


All the best

Hey Gemma,


Welcome to Chalkboard! Good choice on China - I taught there in my gap year and had an awesome time. To get you started on the site you might want to chat to these people who taught in China after doing i-to-i courses:
