Pilgrims

Many of you may recall that we had planned to host a Pilgrims     course led by Sheelagh Deller  during the semester break   . Because more people were interested in attending the course immediately prior to our summer break, we're now  making final arrangements for      <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,153,0)"> <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(51,255,51)"> <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,153,0)"> <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(51,255,51)"> <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,255,0)"> <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(51,255,51)"> <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,255,0)"> <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(51,255,51)"> <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(51,255,51)"> <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(51,255,51)"> <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(51,255,51)"> <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(51,255,51)"> <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(51,255,51)"> <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(51,255,51)"> <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(51,255,51)"> <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,153,0)"> <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(51,255,51)"> <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(51,255,51)"> <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,153,0)"> <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(51,255,51)"> the end of June 2008.

Burcu reports: Hi, I'd like to take one of the followings //'Dealing with difficult learners'//, //'Teaching through Music & Virtual A//rt', ' //The Expert Teacher'// or //'Secondary Teaching'//. Thanks BURCU

Arzu reports (in a nearby place): "Hi Philip, I've checked the website and some other courses' websites to have more idea and compare the contents. Though it's hard to have an idea just by checking the websites, I've found very interesting topics in Pilgrims such as "Dealing with Difficult Learners", "Teaching English Through Multiple Intelligence", "Creative Methodology for the Classroom", "Humanising Testing", and "Creative Writing". The contents of these courses seem to fit what I've been looking for. Although I'm interested in a course in June, I need to be sure of the time it starts and ends. The price is high, I agree on that point but if the school can make an arrangement like you suggested at the meeting (cutting a certain amount from our salaries every month), that's payable. I think Pilgrims coming to our school and our school becoming a course center for them, is a great opportunity for all of us.Thank you for everything. "

Hi everyone, Since I took the 'Teacher Training' course from the British Council years ago I did not need to assign my name in the first term. After the cancelation of this course this Monday Philip told us to tell our topics in our minds for June. Although it is not in their list I would like to take an "effective" course on CEF if it is possible. I said effective because as you all know we have been applying CEF at Terakki for 5 years especially in the secondary part and naturally we have many experiences. Moreover I am going to give a course on CEF in Kültür University for 10 weeks in April. So it has to be something supportive for both me and everybody at Terakki.

I hope they provide us a positive and supportive training atmosphere at Terakki.

//Hi all; After reading Philip's message I had a look at Pilgrims web site. Last year I took Creative Methodology and learnt a lot. There was a bit of everything (CLL, TPR, PDL, TBL, LA, NLP).

I think I would like to take one of the followings://
 * //Humanising Testing (different test types, designing tests for all skills, test development, self-assessment and portfolio assessment)//
 * //Creative Writing ( different types of writing, editing, re-editing, error correction, the evaluation of writing)//
 * //The Expert Teacher (the course content looks really interesting ! )//

//I hope we can have Pilgrims at Terakki **this time** :)

Dear all, First of all I must say that I am looking forward to seeing Pilgrims here! I think that would be great if the course includes; Esra Akiskali.
 * Dealing with Difficult Learners
 * The Expert Teacher
 * Assessment & Feedback

I'm happy to hear that Pilgrims will be here at last in June. I hope everything will go great and there won't be any cancellation this time :) I had a quick look at the Pilgrims site and I've found these topics interesting:

I would love to attend the Pilgrims's trainer course so I'm certainly in.
 * Building positive group dynamics.
 * Leadership and followership.
 * Fun, laughter and learning (teaching ??).
 * Methodology that can be used across the curriculum.
 * Skills of teacher training.

Hi ! I'm planning to take "Train the trainer " and I believe that if we could have some information on "Humanising testing" within the course, it would be perfect ! As we design our own tests here in Terakki, I think " Humanising Testing " would fullfill our needs in creating tests which are effective and fair.

Betül :)

Hi! I think "**__testing"__** is what we need to improve ourselves most. " Humanising testing" is the course I'd like to take.
