This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned:
I have been giving conversational classes as well as private classes for the past three years. I took this course to gain more knowledge. Knowledge that I can put to use in my classrooms. I feel like this course has helped me by giving me a wider understanding of what I already know when working in a classroom setting. As well, it has allowed me to analyze my personal teaching skills and how I can improve those skills.
Although I already have classroom skills, I do not teach grammar. Therefore, the basis of me taking this course, was to enhance my knowledge on grammar so that I would be able to have more confidence when my students have doubts. I feel that the grammar lessons helped me a lot in this manner. I do believe that I would need much more practice in order to gain more confidence, but I think that with time, every teacher feels more comfortable teaching grammar. While we continuously tell our students that practice makes perfect, we as teachers perfect our skills of teaching through practice as well.
Given that I have been a teaching assistant for the past three years, I feel that I am ready to advance in my teaching career. I am hoping to be able to continue along this path by finding a more permanent teaching contract in the following year. All in all, by exposing my strengths and identifying areas I need to improve, this course has given me the confidence I need to move forward.
