True. It is absurd to suggest that all listening material should come from a class and not be prerecorded outside material.

Modern media demand certain accepted currencies, and Konglish (for example) is not international. It is also absurd to allow certain students to dictate a 'course', if those students are

sounds like the way PGCEs are delivered. Ive just come to the end of one PGCE year and dropped out at the end. Teaching is inherently subjective and doesnt lend itself as a career very well to someone who is very objective (scientific) in their way of thinking.

Interesting - but you obviously had more to say...is there a follow up?
Also apologies, I pressed the wrong star, and meant to rate this a 3

I didn't actually get what you're trying to say about CELTA. I haven't yet done the course myself, but I intend to. What was your point?
