18. Additional Comments

Excellent feedback from all the trainees, who really appreciated whole experience provided for them by trainers who they considered to be expert, supportive and very helpful (‘The teachers were all very friendly and extremely helpful. The schools and children were amazing, truly a life changing experience….Had the most fantastic time, the Practical teaching was fun and educational, and the teachers go out of their way to help you at all turns so you succeed’.) They were especially appreciative of the many opportunities to observe real teaching and to teach real students, as well as the chance to learn from reflection and feedback on learning a new language, planning lessons and developing materials. By the end of the course the trainees had gained considerable personal and professional development and were confident and ready to start their careers as teachers of EFL.
