Professor Andy Curtis began his professional life as a Medical Science but
after gaining his first qualification in TESOL, in 1989, he decided to
leave medical science and pursue his real passions – languages, teaching
and learning.
I am lucky to participate a seminar of him.That was held in Brac center and my brother informed me. That day we finished our Teaching Practicum and my other classmates also went there. Our director Lady Aysa Abed was also there. Dr.Arifa Rhamn,Dr Rubina khan were there.
We went on time. All were there.After finishing opening speeches Dr Andy Curtis came. I am really surprised to see him.He looks like Bangladeshi people. He talked about his some personal experience like how he become a TESOLIAN,his son and family also.
Which idea i like most from his speech that is way of our learning:
1.The head
2.The hand
3.The Heart
The head: It helps us to think that is our cognitive power. Our head can think critically,give solution,give feedback and so on. In TESOL we can think about our lesson plan critically,we can make,we can observe class and we can make ourselves as a teacher. All these things we do by head.
The hand: Our body language is one of the important factor and our gesture. These things we do through our hand.We can write,we show some things etc.
The Heart:Heart is one of the important part which help to feel myself. My activities,right or wrong,my emotions etc.
Finally, we attend a photo session with him.Overall it is good time with him and we can gather lots of things in our head.Now time to implementation.
