I thought the video clips were good as it helped to see the way some of the activities worked.
Valerie Stanley –
It started with basics and short student workload so as not to be daunting to those not familiar with teaching. It was informative, using videos of real life examples. I enjoyed the challenges and the clear and constructive way in which information and explanations were presented to me.
Lucy Rutledge –
I have absolutely loved this course and it has inspired me to reconsider teaching! The order of the course content was really easy to follow, feedback was quick and constructive and the different perspectives brought in throughout the course helped me to think outside the box and led to more creative lesson planning and further study.
The video content is really good and there could be more I think!

The tutors gave helpful feedback, which has helped me to think about how to improve my lesson plans and the material I choose to use in my lessons. There is a nice mixture of ESOL and Christian outreach thinking.
