Are you a typical ELT teacher?

Top on my list of things to do today was to write this post!  I have been meaning to sit down and write all week, but have lots of things to finish off and wrap up for the testing I've been doing and each day ended with no blog post written!  So today, I'm going to start off by writing this post, then move on to tidying up my study!!!


One of the things I've been planning to write about is the survey I took part in.
A few weeks ago, I filled in my answers to the Snapshot Survey by Cambridge English Teacher.   They wanted to form a picture of what being an English teacher is like.



And 2 weeks ago, I received an email telling me that the results of the survey had been uploaded to the Cambridge English Teacher website.

I was not one of the teachers who said they had ended up in ELT 'accidentally', but I never intended making a career of it!  After a year in France as a assistant, I came to Spain to teach for a year and 28 years later, my Spanish 'year' is still in progress!  I have several teacher friends who say the same!

You can download the results of the Snapshot Survey as a pdf file.  It would be useful for class I feel - students could work out the original questions and interview you and see if their teacher is 'typical'!
