2 weeks ago, I was interviewed through Skype and got accepted so I'll start the course in July. Yet I have my doubts about being accepted to such a demanding course. I've been studying English for about 12 years and I've been teaching it for about 3 years now; therefore, my command of the language seems to be pretty good and I have no major problems with my accent.
The thing is I've started to brush up my English skills and decided to test myself with one of those practice CPE tests and to my disappointment, I did awfully; I realized that I don't have neither a wide vocabulary at my command nor the best listening skills so I started to wonder if taking the course will be, after all, worth the money and the time.
As my teaching experience, I can say that I'm considered one of the best in my city; most of my students say that I have "something" they can't explain and that I know how to make them understand English better than anyone else. I know I'm not that good though. I decided to take this course because I want to improve my teaching skills as well as my grammar and get over with my vocabulary weaknesses.
Honestly, I just love learning and teaching English. It's such a rewarding feeling. I'm just afraid...too afraid of failing it.
What do you think?
