- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. To be honest, I was a bit apprehensive about being able to stay focused and engaged for a ten-hour stretch... on a Saturday! There was a part of me that envisioned a large conference hall with rows of seats, a minimum of 100 students and a dreary PowerPoint display lulling me into a postprandial coma. I was quite wrong. We had about 20 people in our group, and the intimate setting helped us get to know each other and share our different experiences and backgrounds. That helps when you have to work with people later and then stand up in front of them to deliver your first "lesson". Everyone was very friendly and supportive, and the tutor did a superb job of presenting well-scaffolded lessons that captured the essence of TEFL teaching. Those ten hours flew by fast. The Cape Town Lodge Hotel is a plush, inviting venue.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. TEFL tutor Luan's classroom course was probably the highlight of the entire programme for me. Luan took the 10 units of theory that I'd been wrestling with for the past 6 months and distilled them into a witblits 10-hour one-shot without so much as single "erm", "um" or "ah", and she had me and about 20 other quietly terrified (well, at least I was) TEFL newbies delivering our first lesson in a very engaging yet supportive environment. The 10-units of theory built the engine. Luan installed the spark plug.
