This CELTA course presented me with a greater insight into the opportunities and challenges of teaching English as a second language. It is a field of study that is of huge interest to me. The high quality of feedback, input sessions, lessons observed (by fellow trainees and experienced teachers within the UCC Language Centre) and the support from the tutors and fellow trainees enabled me to learn a huge amount in the seven weeks of the course.

My degree also provided me with the opportunity to improve my German language skills and allowed me to learn about German culture, history, politics and of course its legal system. My Erasmus year from September 2012 - July 2013 in Marburg resulted in me studying International Private Law, Jurisprudence and German Civil Law through German. Overall my time in UCC was fantastic for my personal and academic development and I have used the skills learned in UCC throughout my working life. Weniger anzeigen

The tasks I completed over the year:- prepared students in Year 12 for their oral English exams,- provided my opinion and feedback in those exams - small group work with the Year 11s on current affairs topics such as TTIP, Brexit and the American Presidential Election - prepared project work for the Year 13s, which involved the students preparing Business plans in a Dragons' Den style setting- general assistance (grammar, sentence structure and vocabulary) for students in the Wilkommensklassen and other classes- researched and prepared presentations on aspects of Irish and British culture, history, current affairs, including Northern Ireland, Brexit, Irish culture, Irish music & sports, Irish language, British and Irish health systems and many other topics.I was given an overall "A" rating by the school with the statement "Oisín was very popular with the pupils of the school as well as the staff.

      Private tutoring

      For two years I provided private tutoring for Leaving Certificate and Junior Certificate students. I primarily taught German but I also had students in Leaving Certificate history. This job has involved researching different language areas (and historical areas) and presenting them in an interesting manner suitable for the individual learner. I provided detailed lessons in oral language as well as written language in German. I enjoy one-to-one teaching as it is clear to see when a student is improving and one can also base lessons around the interests of the students. The students I have tutored experienced improved results but they were alsobeen exposed to real German - in the form of books, music, comics, magazines etc. which has made the language and country real to them - while in history I provided students with suitable background information to further contextualize what they learned in their school history books.
