Getting it Right in the Interview

It's such a pity, when you've worked so hard to get through the TESOL course, that you, so to speak, fall at the last hurdle, by under-performing in the interview with the Trinity Moderator.

Nerves often play a part, but they don't have to. If you start to get the jitters, shift in your seat, or move your hands while speaking, so as not to clam up.

The most important thing, though, is in the discussion of your materials to use as much of the metalanguage you've learned on the course. That seems to be key.

So, when practising, ask yourself, 'How can I show the moderator what I've learned in this answer?'

It will prove invaluable to do so.
