The feedback received was very positive and included the following: - That the teachers were involved, and supportive - That help with lesson planning was useful and allowed students enough space to develop their own ideas - That observations by experienced teachers were positive but not ‘over positive’, and focused on practical ways to improve - That students would be happy to recommend the course - That the facilities were excellent - That help with looking for jobs was very useful - That the course was challenging but fun and that teachers were able to make even grammar interesting - That the input sessions were very practical There was not really any criticism but one or two students suggested a little more time to plan lessons done early in the afternoon would have been helpful |
