- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. With regards to the interactivity and participation required in putting theory already learnt into practice. The course is extremely motivating and allows peer to peer exchange and teacher to class presentation work. This module allows a very much hands-on, confidence gaining approach to present one's specific aims to groups. Through seeing, acting and physically animating the teaching comes very much alive!
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Trainer? A. The trainer was prepared, organised, and specifically clear in their presentation skills and giving of instructions. Stage presence, experience and passion oozed out through their confident and professional explanations. They demanded respect through credibility, the use of interactivity and intelligent humour. The subtelty in their comptetent mastering of patience is especially necessary to mention. Adapting to to all levels, ages and backgrounds and the giving of motivational feedback greatly encouraged a positive and dynamic atmosphere within the classroom. I was seeking to physically see in context and in action and furthermore have the opportunity to practically perform all that I had learnt theoretically from the online course. By the end of the intensive weekend training, my objectives to be confident and motivated in both lesson planning and classroom presentation stages were significantly met.
- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. I have learnt a lot during the time attended at the venue, I received a lot of information which was needed and given advice on how to teach as I have no teaching experience. The activities and teaching practice has helped me build up more confidence and I feel that I have grown in a way.
- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. I am extremely satisfied with the classroom element of the course. It was delivered in an exceptionally professional manner. The tutor that taught us on 31st October and 1st November (Luan) is highly skilled in delivering information to learners. I received a lot of valuable information during that weekend, that I believe, will help me tremendously with the online course.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Trainer? A. Our TEFL Trainer (Luan) was amazing at delivering new information to learners. I can only aspire to one day be as proficient as she was on the 31st October - 1st November. I was not confused or had any misunderstanding in her delivery of the information.
- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. As someone that completed the online section of the course already, this allowed me to recap what I’ve learnt as well as some elements of the online section became clearer and I understood it much better than before. It also allowed me to feel much better and not so nervous about teaching certain items such as grammar. The classroom element of the course was really well done, interactive and allowed teaching practice and feedback given not only the good but the bad to. I am glad I decided to pay extra for the combined course option instead of doing the online element only.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Trainer? A. The trainer executed the material perfectly. Very helpful when needed and quite friendly. She put me at ease for when it comes to teaching English. As someone that had completed the online section, it gave me a recap on what I’ve learnt and some elements of the online section which I did not fully understand was covered, she made it so much clearer during the classroom element of the course.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Trainer? A. May Liu is an exceptional facilitator and has an expert handle on the topic of teaching. She demonstrates superior adult learning principles, is encouraging to the participants, organized and very clear. She creates a friendly and supportive environment. I feel very fortunate that May was our teacher for the practicum today. Thank you so much.
- Q. How satisfied were you with the webinar course? A. I had no idea what to expect and have barely started the online course - I was worried I should have signed up after my courses but it ended making me really excited about the course.
