18. Additional Comments

Excellent feedback from trainees who found the course to be intensive and demanding but very worthwhile too. The were delighted with how much they learned in such a short time, not just about how to teach in theory but how to do it in real classrooms too. From their comments and assignments it is obvious that they gained the awareness, skills, enthusiasm and confidence to become effective teachers of EFL (‘Outstanding - I have learned a lot and feel really well prepared to teach.’) The trainees were very grateful to their trainers for sharing their experience and expertise with them and for providing expertise, guidance and caring support.

The trainees’ assignments demonstrated impressive personal and professional development and showed that they are capable of applying what they have learned to the realities of the classroom in principled, creative and effective ways.
