- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. The information received over the weekend course was very needed. As someone who is not a teacher by profession, the tips and information were very useful. The course instructor really stimulated my thoughts about teaching and reconfirmed my interest in teaching abroad. She (Baphiwe) was so enthusiastic and helpful and made the long hours in the class enjoyable and captivating. The weekend will really help with putting the course to action when I eventually start teaching and will help with the assignments.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. As mentioned before, she was extremely stimulating, interesting and enthusiastic which made the class enjoyable and very useful.
- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. Was an amazing atmosphere, great location and the facilitator was an absolute gem
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. Jennifer was amazing, knowledgeable and friendly. She was formidable, but fair and really skilled in her class giving abilities.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. Her depth of knowledge was excellent. She obviously had a great deal of experience which was evident in the teaching. I even learnt some Klingon (er, I mean Hungarian)
- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. The teacher was excellent. Very experienced, knowledgeable but funny and interesting too. I was feeling daunted by two ten hour days but I can honestly say I was not bored once. I feel like I have learned so much and it was really useful. The venue was very nice and central too.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. The content he provided, the resources, the anecdotes, the examples, the feedback - it was all very good.
- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. Our Teacher Mark was highly intelligent with 17 years of teaching experience, and he taught us the importance of getting our students to think in the target language. Mark demonstrated interactive teaching and learning, and how to elicit answers from the students. Most importantly he demonstrated to us how to encourage students to think and speak in the target language, which is better than teaching students a set of grammar rules which they would use to constantly translate from their first language to the target language.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. Our teacher Mark used his intelligence and his experience to teach us the importance of getting students to think in their target language. He taught us how to use the communicative method and activities, instead of students only learning grammar rules and then translating into their target language.
- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. The venue was central and easily accessible. The classroom set up was comfortable for the long duration we were required to be there. We had enough space to move freely and focus on the practical learning aspect. The overhead projector made things move alot quite smoothly and make the visuals large enough for everyone to see. The number of people there was not too much to feel overwhelmed, but more a group which you could learn more about and encourage one another.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. Jennifer made us all feel welcome and comfortable from the moment we walked in. She was extremely friendly and helpful throughout the course. She encouraged us to teach ourselves another level of creativity. She was very involved and hands on, gave clear instructions, and expectations. She gave alot of insight into the practical side of TEFL.
