Fantastic video. You solved my confusion about MFP. Before I thought that meaning is just the literal meaning of the grammar or the word; however, after watching your video, I know that meaning, in this case, stands for context. Thank you very much mister. Good job!

[@bestyinchrist]

thanks a million for people like you.. who share their hard earned knowledge for free... this video has changed my concept and way of teaching... I have been searching for such videos for such a long, long time.. God bless you Theo...

[@GweneverElektra]

I've been teaching English for 20 years and I find your explanation absolutely original, clear, didactic and fresh!!! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@claudiolopez2661]

Thanks Theo for taking the time to share your notes. You are fantastic at explaining what's in your mind. This video was extremely useful for me and I'm about to start the CELTA course in one month. Cheers!

[@hamidm.chehrghani2764]

It's incredibly nice and practical. It's a very effective summary of what one needs to know as an English teacher.

[@nuhoodnahid8122]

James Cannon's Q is right! I remember trying to teach the word 'candle' to an 'all Arab Students Class'. Just I as began to draw it on the board one student started singing "Happy B'day to you...'

[@raggedyandrew]

Your lesson was WAY more clear than how I learned in my CELTA course.

[@englishforlife1984]

No no no ! A picture is worth a thousand words! Don't preach my friend!

[@janerocha2674]

Dear Theo, I'd really like to thank you for having posted such an extremely helpful video, as it is filled with great ideas about both teaching and learning English. As a non-native speaker of English, I also thank you for helping us improve our listening skill. May you and everyone everywhere have a lot of peace, joy and harmony. And yes, we're all looking forward to your new posts. Thank you very much, indeed. Muito obrigada.

[@user-kq3tw7yx4w]

THANK YOU! Short, clear explanations. Time passed in the blink of an eye.

[@yogi2436]

If they understand your long story they probably already know the word 'match'

[@kaledovic]

Bloody good point.

[@mikanai203]

exactly what I was thinking

[@TatianaGM33]

EXACTLY!!!

[@TatianaGM33]

Why shouldn't he provide us with the good example, then? Though he does everything in a correct way:)

[@danielgerber7422]

I haven't done the course yet but I think this is one of the big things they look for--to always make sure you explain a word in terms of simpler words! Even "candle" is probably a bit suspect. Wouldn't most books have a picture?

[@groovecat]

I did my CELTA in 2011 haven’t used it much after a couple of summers teaching. Great refresher! Thanks🙏🏼

[@liujack4260]

Thanks so much! Out of dozens of videos on ESL teaching this is The best I have ever seen so far!

[@DDSMASH74]

Im about to do the celta course in thailand in february and this video was super helpful. even though im an experienced tutor it helps to hear what the celta will focus on. thanks!

[@alexanderv805]

Theo, thank you very much for video. I've spent more than an hour watching it and taking notes. Your overview is clear and practical; it helped me a great deal with my preparation for CELTA.

[@luvnasheed]

Much appreciate how you broke it down into small steps. The approach was simple enough to follow. Thank you!

[@talkttalk2010]

excellent video. Brilliant revision of my course. You'll make a good trainer!

[@sinjresssinjress2639]

Lovely, informative and comprehensive video. A lot of celta/efl jargon which is to the point. I loved the way you proceeded till the end.

[@judithchimowitz1391]

Really liked your descriptions of the various CELTA techniques. On my last week of the course and it is a nice, succinct summary of the masses of material one has to plough through in just four weeks. I hope you went on to become a trainer as you seem to know your stuff.

[@alejolopera]

Theo Thanks, please upload more videos about motivation. Greatings from Colombia

[@abdoukarimgueye7055]

Thank you so much for this video. I have not only picked up some really interesting ideas and examples for lesson planning but this has also given me a really great insight on what to expect from the CELTA course! Thank you! Great video, highly recommend to anyone teaching or even learning in fact!

[@asimsaleem81]

Thanks bro. It was really so informative. some of the complications, which required clarification, have all been clarified. Thanks again.

[@nuhoodnahid8122]

Its a GREAT informative video. CELTA classes are more or less the same anywhere in the world. I did my CELTA at Muscat, Oman in 2008 and it was just the same as this one.

[@gabriel1985666]

I'm taking the Celta and half way throuh. Your video is great for me. Thank you!

[@rys2754]

This was a very much needed refresher - thank you so much!

[@englishuser7150]

You are the best!!! For half an hour I saw much more structured and logical information than I have got for a month of my Celta course (plus already three TPs, which drove me crazy as tutors say everything is wrong but how to do it better - think for yourself!!!) which still lasts)))
