The students were very satisfied with the help and support received from the trainers, and commented on the fact they they were always available and very approachable, even outside of course hours. They felt the support they got throughout the course was at a level that allowed them to take more responsibility for their teaching as the course progressed and they became more experienced, and that they felt fully prepared to enter a "real world" classroom by the end of the course. The diversity of the trainers and their different teaching styles gave them the students the opportunity to see different classroom approaches. The students described the teaching practice as excellent, and many commented that they had been very proud of their final classes. |
