  • Questions are an important part of interaction in the classroom but some questions just aren't helpful. This is the first in a series of mistakes NOT to make on your CELTA teaching practice.
    If you want to know more about asking Concept Checking Questions (a more helpful way to ask questions and check that learners have understood), check out my course here:

    I recently completed my CELTA and your videos were (and still are!) incredibly beneficial. Many thanks :-)

    I wish I had known you when I was working on my CELTA ! :P
    Still, your videos are still very helpful ... even when preparing a French (or Italian) lesson now :))

      I agree! I feel like I could have got an A even, or at least been less stressed! Apart from the excellent advice, Jo you have such a calming voice! Just what we all need during our Celta.

    Useful as always! For me, even 3 years after CELTA it's hard to stop asking 'What does x mean?' As you said, it's like some teaching habits are hard-wired into us lol. Will try to avoid it next week 😁

    Your videos are very useful for the students I teach on a university BA TEFL module where I only get to see the groups for two hours a week.

      That's great - I'm so pleased that they're useful. If you feel as if you'd like to learn how to make your own videos (maybe more particularly appropriate for your students), I've got a new Video Creation for Educators course starting in April - you can find out more information about it here www.elt-training.com/introduction-to-video-creation-for-educators

    I'm constantly falling into the trap of asking "Do you understand?" or "Do you have any questions about this?"
    I''m bringing my awareness to go for more specifical questions such picking a possibily new vocabulary or sentence and providing them with two options that use language they have already learned. Even so, I still worry if they are understanding.
    Checking understanding is one of the most challenging things I had to rethink on my teaching. After 10 years of teaching I had to bring my knowledge to square zero and build my concepts all over again. It's really hard to let go of ineffective teaching habits.

      I think that teaching is always a 'work in progress'.... I see it as a good sign to be self aware - maybe when you stop thinking about your teaching, it's time to stop :)

      She said we shouldn't ask "what does ___ mean?" because to answer this question the student needs to come up with a definition and they might not have the language to do it. This is different from showing an image and asking for the corresponding word.
