"Thank you for registering me for your TESOL course. I found
it very useful for me. It has taught me a lot. It has also
given me
many fresh ideas as well as things to consider when I apply for
another job. I appreciate the useful pointers you have provided
me. Thank you again. I have recommended your course to
many Canadians to take."
- Margaret M, South Korea
"I just loved the course! I especailly liked the last part where
I got
to apply my own creativity!" - Rose Marie G., Bangkok, Thailand
"Before I took this course, I focused on grammar, vocabulary
building, listening drills, academic reading, and other left-brain
activities in my tutoring class for a student preparing for the
Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). I was therefore
pleased to find many interesting and challenging activities to
supplement the often repetitive and boring textbook exercises.
Moreover, I found that when I implemented some of the teaching
techniques described in the TESOL course, my student was
more motivated and could develop other skills besides English.
She gained confidence and was able to use her creative thinking
skills.
I learned a lot about which lessons worked and how to improve
them. I also noticed that my student's English skills improved with
her new confidence. Now, when the TOEFL student does the
practical tests for Listening, her score is higher than before. I
am
sure that is due to her increased confidence and listening skills.
As for her Writing skills, she is taking it in steps, and knows how
to develop ideas. There are phases of Writing just like there are
phases of Reading. Grammar and Vocabulary are areas in which
new teaching techniques can really help too. I feel more
self-assured and prepared as a teacher with my new
techniques. With more variety and motivating activities, English
class is more satisfying for both the student and the instructor."
