Course feedback

The course was very informative and well-organized. It provided a clear understanding of different teaching concepts and approaches that are useful for educators. The trainer explained the topics in a simple and understandable manner, which made it easier for learners to follow the sessions. The overall structure of the course was good, and it helped participants gradually build their knowledge and confidence in teaching.

One of the strongest aspects of the course was the trainer’s ability to create an engaging learning environment. The trainer encouraged interaction, discussions, and questions, which helped learners actively participate in the sessions. This interactive approach made the learning experience more interesting and meaningful. The trainer also used practical examples to explain different teaching methods, which helped learners understand how these methods can be applied in real classroom situations.

However, there is one area where the course could be improved further. Since many learners who take this course may plan to work in India, it would be very helpful if the course also included some content related to curriculum-based English teaching. In many schools in India, English is taught not only as a communicative language but also as a subject that follows a specific syllabus and curriculum. Teachers are often required to follow textbooks, prepare lesson plans according to the curriculum, and help students prepare for examinations.

If the course included some guidance on teaching English within a curriculum-based system, it would make the training even more practical and relevant for learners who want to work in Indian schools or educational institutions. For example, the course could include topics such as understanding a syllabus, planning lessons based on textbook units, teaching grammar and writing according to curriculum requirements, and preparing students for exams. This would give learners a better understanding of the expectations they may face in a school environment.

Overall, the course was very useful and provided valuable knowledge about teaching methods and classroom practices. The trainer’s clear explanations and interactive sessions made the course engaging and enjoyable. With the addition of curriculum-based English teaching content, the course could become even more comprehensive and beneficial for learners who wish to teach in the Indian education system.

Course feedback

Recapitulation of what I know and relating the same to what I do not know, made my learning meaningful and joyful. The teacher did her very best in guiding me at each and every step. The needs of each and every learner was considered. Written assignments given as part of the course, enabled to improve my confidence and writing skills.

The trainer was non judgemental and conscious to the needs of the student. My strengths were identified. Peer teaching assignments and Teaching Practise assignments, we're the ones I thoroughly enjoyed.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I was nervous prior to the teaching practise assignments. I remained calm and composed and did my best
Pros
  • Good teaching
  • Candid feedback
  • Opportunities given
Cons
  • Not able to thoroughly listen
  • Struggled to make "Warmer Activity" more fun
  • Could not manage time in certain peer teaching assignments

A lesson in teaching

One attends a training course expecting theory and instruction. This one offered something more. The trainer demonstrated how a teacher ought to conduct themselves through clarity patience and intellectual generosity. Questions were welcomed and discussion encouraged which made the learning both rigorous and engaging. One left not only with notes on pedagogy but with the more valuable impression of teaching properly practiced. It was in effect a lesson not merely in methods but in the manner and character of good teaching.

Alumni Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with verified alumni.

Why did you choose this program?

It's my dream to travel around the world. Basically I'm a commerce student (mcom). If I choose an accounting job, any other job I can't fullfill my dream. Teaching is my passion, so I decided to teach and travel around the world. I'm sure that this program is the best way to fullfill everyone's dream.

What did your program provider (or university) assist you with, and what did you have to organize on your own?

ACT helps every students to improve their communication skills and also they provide advanced technology, methodology to their students. Our trainer Is also a talented person; she helps me so much to clear my doubts without hesitation. If I can do my own, I should help the students to achieve their dreams.

What is one piece of advice you'd give to someone going on your program?

My advice is to my friends who are going to do this course is that, if you have strong passion for teaching, you can succeed; otherwise, never do this course. This course is a big platform for those who dream to go abroad and teach. It is also a challenging program. Do what you make happy and follow your heart.

What does an average day/week look like as a participant of this program?

If you are studying in ACT, punctuality is a must. Wake up early and going to class on time is very important. Every day we are eagerly waiting to do new activities and pair works. There are lot of activities and group work given by our trainer that are very useful for improving our ability to teach and handling the students.

Going into your experience abroad, what was your biggest fear, and how did you overcome it? How did your views on the issue change?

I don't have any experience because I never go abroad. If I get a chance to go abroad, my biggest fear will be independence because I live in a joint family; I never visited any place without my parents. But I believe I can overcome this situation for making new friends and colleagues. Face situations with courage and confidence.

Do you have a favorite story abroad?

I don't have any favourite story to share, sorry for that. I think, don't go abroad with fears. Just enjoy your profession and travel around the world . Set your mind before going to abroad; face the challenges and accept their culture; obey the rules don't make it complicated. Respect elders. Thank you.

What is your favorite travel memory?

Although I have traveled to few countries in the world and immigrated too, however, till date my all time favorite travel memory is when I had visited Thailand in the year 2009. It was almost as if I was in love with that place instantly and secretly wished to work in Thailand. By God's grace, my dream came true through Asian College of Teachers. As TEFL trainer, my job demands traveling and training in different locations and I have been traveling to Bangkok on and off for the same. Exotic locales of Thailand, friendly and ever smiling people, amazing hospitality, unlimited variety of food and a paradise for the shopaholics, make my travels to Thailand an evergreen one, always.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

There are many factors that come into play in being a successful company. However, I believe that the biggest factor is innovation along with good marketing strategies. Although success, however we choose to define it, is a continuous work in progress. Most importantly, in a company where people work as 'WE' than 'I', it is creating more compelling and enriching future.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

I have not only changed but also grown since working for Asian College of Teachers. Changed in terms of being more confident, efficient and most importantly in skill building. Definitely I see myself to have grown as an effective communicative trainer and people's manager, from what I used to be fours years back.

What unique qualities does your company possess?

The leadership team of every good company has a great ambition for the company. Asian college of Teachers (ACT) offers the same, meet customer needs, relentless attention to execution (not only the products but in customer service too) and offers flexibility to all its employee, which makes ACT a great place to work for.

Describe a time when you felt especially proud to be part of your current team.

There is not a time where I felt proud to be a part of an efficient team but quite a few moments where I have felt the same. To be able to recognize employee's talent and efficiency is culture and a ritual that is effectively practiced in ACT. Whenever my hard and smart work have been appreciated, it goes without saying that it has simply boosted my self confidence, helped further to speed up my efficiency and planted the seed to learn and grow more.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

The best story so far what I have heard is when a student claims how ACT has touched its life and has helped to transform. The best of the best part is, when a student expresses to be a part of ACT as an employee or to work as a partner.
