Additional Comments: "The whole course is good, especially the grammar input which is really helpful. The trainer is fantastic. She can be serious and also relaxed. She is understanding and always tries to help all the trainees. The practice teaching is very valuable. I received very good feedback from my students." "Overall it’s good. I’ve learned everything I wanted to learn. I enjoyed the time studying here. The only thing is if the second language course could be arranged to be earlier in the day, we’d be more alert for it." "As I have been teaching for a while, I expected something more challenging. The course for me is a little easy but the trainer is professional and experienced. I suggest there could be more activities involved." "Good course. I have learned a lot, especially grammar." "The course is intense. There are so many things to learn. I thought there should be more practice teaching and less theory learning, though." "I enjoyed the course a lot, even though it’s intense. I have learned a lot. For the teaching practice, we were very lucky to have students from all over the world. Also, Katrina is patient and helpful. I enjoyed learning from her." Overall the students were happy with the course and the lead trainer. |
