B.G. - France said:
This course has given me confidence that I can personally overcome my terror of grammar which was instilled in me by very unsympathetic teachers when I was a child. It hasn’t been easy and it has stretched me. It has caused me to stop and think and use my little grey cells which probably have atrophied with age and complacency. I work in a multi cultural environment and listening to some of my colleagues now makes me very aware of how L2 can change someone’s life. These changes are not always enhanced by the skills derived from a new language and I am now very aware of those who have a good education in L2 and those who have been less fortunate. Of those who I can understand because they can communicate exceptionally well and those who despite living and working in the UK can’t be so readily understood. I suspect that some of these problems are because the latter have been brought up in ex-commonwealth countries whose english has been derived from years of Colonial rule with a healthy smattering of there own languages mixed in and with a heavy accent along side; and they have had no formal L2 teaching. Some of them have been raised using their own native language and english and they are bi-lingual, not distinguishable from a British national raised and educated in the UK. Some have regional accents, northern irish ( listening to them on the phone you wouldn’t realise that their ethnicity wasn’t Caucasian). The above are observations only which have been enhanced by this course. I have every intention of finding part-time employment teaching english as a second language. As I commute between my work in the UK and france I suspect this will take the form of internet based teaching via Skype and emails, with the odd day working in a private business school in rural Normandy when I’m home. My plan is to complete the 50 hour business module next before I actively seek out paid employment and to find an institution that will observe me teaching for a time. Although I lectured to student Theatre Practitioners (medics) I am aware that lecturing and teaching are two very different skills. I am also very tempted to go on to do the online diploma course. I also know that I have to actively follow up on the grammar otherwise it would be very easy to forget what little I have learnt. To this end I have purchased some english grammar books.
