Hello everybody!
Nice to meet you, as I'm a newcomer here! :-D
A very important question for me is: am I really suitable for CELTA or not, if I got the following reply :-(
In fact your application, Language Task and overall command of the English language were all comfortably
above the standard required to attend the course but because we received an unprecedented number of applications and because CELTA is a basic teaching qualification and we were keen to form a group of 'teacher trainees' with more or less the same level of expertise and previous practical classroom experience, on this occasion you have been unsuccessful. However, it is very possible that a second CELTA course will be held at a regional venue next year and, if this is the case, as part of our equal opportunities policy, we will seek to select teachers with a similar profile to yourself.
I understand the text, but I have some doubts -- I have never heard of any people, who were not selected. So, may it be my fault and the letter was written in order not to hurt me? Do I still have a chance? Or should I do something to get one?
I will really appreciate your opinions and do my best to participate in other discussions if I can help!
Thanx for your attention!
Good luck! ;-)
