How do you think Cambodian English teachers would do, if they did this exam.

I think a student who'd applied themselves and studied would pass, but not well. I think a Cambodian teacher of English would struggle if given this test unprepared.

The level of ambiguity is unnecessary, however the test is too short for the time period - which means that each question carries too much weight. I'd have given at least twice as many questions, but without the ambiguity.

Not well.

I did my CELTA some years ago.
Did my head in.
Never realised the rules of the game.
Do now and see why it's taught like that.
Hate teaching though and as result blew my dollars.

My personal/professional view is that if you're teaching any language using grammar rules, you're failing your students. I taught teenagers in China who could recite the grammar rules of English better than I can, but could not construct a simple sentence. So, if you're teaching or being taught based on something like this as the primary tool:



it's not the most effective teaching. Actually, it's an older method than post-industrial teaching, it's industrial teaching method, which has been demonstrated to be a Very Bad Thing.
