Hi Dr. Shady. I just want to thank you and say that you are undoubtedly the best and the most generous Celta content creator. Thank you for your valuable efforts. Jazaka Allahu Khayran.
Dear Mr. Shady, I'm so much gratetful to you. Today at my workplace, I delivered my first input session and it was about this very topic Adaptatinons and lead in. Certainly I have mentioned the resource and attached the link of the video. The input session was so much liked by my colleagues and supervisor. Thanks so much for helping me becoming a better teacher.
Love that one! It's such a treasure trove of information to CertPT candidates as well. It reminds me with CertPT assignment; however, the CertPT one was in depth... Good times! Keep it up Mr.Shady 😊😊😊
@@Britishey Many thanks, by the way, I'd like to know if all CELTA written assignments are fixed in terms of topics they address or if there will be changes depending on tutors' desires and many other factors.
@@thestraightpath.5036 In this assignment, the main change can be in either the tutor deciding on the text or giving the freedom to candidates to find an authentic one.
This video will help deeply ones who will study TEFL course in assignment 1 because I didn't know about it till I reached to assignment 3. just a helpful guidance for the comment readers! Thank you Mr.Shady.
Thank you Mr. Shady for the informative video. If my assignment gives me options to choose a treading text from a coursebook or an authentic text which one will I select? And from where to get graded authentic texts? I hope you read my comment and answer me soon
Sir i am currently working on this assignment, however, i wasn't given a text to use. Can i get an article from the BBC website and use it for this assignment?
Another fantastic video Shady, thank you! I have an upcoming CELTA course and your videos have been an absolutely invaluable resource for my preparation. Thank you! I have a question. If the point of this assignment is to use authentic text, does modifying and simplifying the text not then mean the text would therefore be inauthentic? Why is this not cause for a resubmission?
I love the question. It depends on how your assignment is designed. If it says that adaptation should happen to cater for a specific level of learners, then you should do it and thus you show your tutors that you are able to turn authentic material into classroom material, a skill coursebook writers must have.
Thank you@@Britishey! I really appreciate your attentiveness and speed of your response! Keep up the good work. I will continue to closely comb through your content throughout my CELTA and beyond!
Hello Shady! Thank you so much for your videos! they're so helpful. I have a question please. Can reading for specific information be done thorugh questions. For instance, what places can you go to discover more about the culture? and the question from the text would be: art galleries and museums. or, what item to bring while exploring the city? and the answer from the text would be: a map. Could it work like this or it has to be names and dates and locations etc...
@@Britishey thank you so much for the quick reponse! I'm teaching a text that has absolutely no dates no names and no numbers. It's about 5 tips on exploring a city. It is quite tricky to design a reading for specific information task.
Again and again! I am so grateful for your informative videos, thank you! I am asking to be sure. Is sentence completion task a specific information task?
Thanks a lot, Dr. Shady fir such an informative video. I just have a question, shall I enclose the text on its authentic condition and once more with the replaced vocabulary that are far above my students' level??
@@sosobora9703 That’s a tricky one and it is up to you. Sometimes you may leave some blocking words and handle them in the lesson. Sometimes you simplify them and skip the pre-teaching vocabulary stage. It is up to you and your tutor’s opinion here will be valuable and also how your assignment is designed. Not all assignments are in the same structure.
Great video. Super helpful. Thanks!

You can choose an authentic text and grade it yourself using the ideas in this video.

Could it work like this or it has to be names and dates and locations etc...
I’d say try to play it safe and find names, numbers and the like. If difficult, then as long as the answer is one word then fine.

or detailed informatin? I am confused about those two.
@@busearman548 It can be both depending on how you design the question.
Thanks a lot, Dr. Shady fir such an informative video. I just have a question, shall I enclose the text on its authentic condition and once more with the replaced vocabulary that are far above my students' level??
I will do that myself but will make sure the adapted areas are highlighted.
So, no need for replacing just provide them with simple synonyms??
Another question please, as for the pre-reading vocabulary as all blockers were given replacements ?

I've found a treasure here. Will thank you be enough? I am not sure.
Always welcome Mina. Thanks for your encouraging comment.
@@Britishey URW, sir
My Celta course says that we cannot simplify the text because it's not authentic anymore..
This depends on how your assignment is designed. If this is what your CELTA course requires, then grade the tasks instead of the text.
Thank you so much Mr. Shady
Always welcome my friend.
I am keep missing when you said write this many words for this section.
Sorry what do you mean?
