- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. The course was extremely helpful in helping my understanding of the course work, and in answering any other questions I had about teaching abroad, our lecturer, Carmen was very friendly and welcoming, answering all our questions, and giving us tips for things some of us didn't even think of yet. The other participants were very nice, and I feel confident that most of us made friendships that would last for years to come. All of us got on well with each other, giving a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. The Hotel was lovely, they had air-conditioned rooms and nice staff who were very friendly and didn't hesitate to help when help was needed.

- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. The classroom element was a great experience! It gave me a chance to meet new people. People who were interested in similar things and future goals and plans as what I have. I was able to learn from not only my classmates, but our TEFL lecturer, who was very knowledgeable in the content that she taught and it was clear that she was not only talking about what she had studied herself, but from real experiences that she had had or that she knows of other people having. It was overall an incredible experience and open my eyes to, not only the reality of TEFL, but also the opportunities that TEFL can bring for not only me but the students I will be teaching.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Trainer? A. Rosalind was a great trainer! She made the classroom experience fun. She was always there to help and answer questions. It was clear that she knew what she was teaching and put in a lot of effort in what she was teaching, as well as how she would teach it. She ensured that we understood what was being taught before moving on. When we didn't understand she ensured that she helped us get back on track, before moving on to the next topic. She used real experiences to explain to us what we can expect and how we can approach the situation in the best possible way. She encouraged a good friendly atmosphere in the class which helped us get along and to be ae to work together constantly. She made the experience even better for us all!
- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. I was provided with opportunities to practice teaching in a safe environment which allowed for mistakes to be made. This helped me identify where I can improve my teaching. The facilitator had extended knowledge about working in the TEFL environment and shared his experiences and advice with us.

By the end of the classroom course I had more self confidence, felt more motivated and inspired to pursue a career in the TEFL field.
