18. Additional Comments

Excellent  feedback from trainees who really appreciated everything which was provided for them. They were especially grateful for the quality instruction, the caring and constructive feedback and the many and varied opportunities for learning from monitored reflection on experience. By the end of the course they felt that they had gained the awareness, skills and confidence to become effective teachers of TEFL (‘I gained the skills necessary to be an educator and feel confident in what I have accomplished here.’).

The assignments demonstrated how much the trainees gained in terms of knowledge of the language and the skills required for teaching as well as indicating that considerable personal and professional development had been achieved.
