Overall experience was great

I think the entire session has been really wonderfully structured,presented and taught. Meeting different people from different backgrounds and then working with them in teams was quite challenging but ultimately we learnt a lot.The most interesting and challenging part was actually entering the class and confronting the students like a real teacher, that was really an experience that made us learn of lot stuffs and most importantly gain huge confidence which was very much required for me personally.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I would say that going to an actual classroom and preparing lesson plans and presenting all of it was an actual challenging experience but anyway I gained sufficient confidence till the end of the session
Pros
  • Confidence boost
  • Positivity
  • Energetic environment
Cons
  • The pace was a bit fast
  • We would be exhausted till the end of the day
  • Team work was tough

My TEFL journey

My TEFL journey at the ACT has been very practical and given me the skills to teach EFL in a more systematic manner. The ambience was very welcoming which enabled all the students to learn together easily.
The trainer is very passionate and skilful and gave each of the students special attention and covered all topics related to tefl. I would highly recommend ACT for TEFL journey and for learning to teach English as a spoken language in a proper and systematic manner wherever you go. My journey has been amazing

What was your funniest moment?

Valuable learning experience

The course offered us valuable teaching experience and prepared us for our careers in education. The trainer was knowledgable and provided helpful guidance. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to teach EFL at schools or looking to teach abroad. The course primarily covered young learners in schools but is sufficient preparation for EFL training anywhere

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Teaching a real class for the first time. However, the students were welcoming and their energy was infectious which allowed for a smooth experience

ACT's TEFL course is a delight and an eye-opener for all.

It was a wonderful experience in doing the 120 hour TEFL course. Trainer Ashika's teaching has instilled the confidence in me which I did not have before. Her sessions were really interesting and were very interactive. The entire course was so educative. It helped us in learning the teaching methods and strategies in teaching English. This course is an eye opener, suitable for anyone dreaming to be a professional teacher. Also, you get to meet great people in the process. Every minute is a moment of insight and inspiration.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Teaching a class of 25 kids of age 10 English for the first time was the most nerve racking moment and I overcame it with a lot of practice and problem solving methods taught by ACT's TEFL course.
Pros
  • Teaching English
  • Bringing confidence

My ACT TEFL experience

It was a wonderful and pleasant experience. From day one, I enjoyed my time here with my peers. Also, our trainer was very appreciative, enthusiastic and was able to deliver the content clearly. We had a lot of fun and exiting activities which helped me learn the theory parts. Also working with others on the same field gave me a handful of experience and knowledge. Overall, the course was very beneficial and encouraging. I would gladly suggest this course to anyone who is willing to teach abroad.

What was your funniest moment?
Dancing is one of my areas of weakness. It was a bit embarrassing in one of the activities where we had to dance. Yet, it was funny since everyone here is really comfortable to work with

My experience

A great opportunity for those aspiring candidates to teach abroad however, there is no placement though it is written 100% job placement on the website . The teaching methods that were used in the course was totally different from what I expected and it has different methods of teaching to the learner’s , the course was intensive however, it was fun with so much of activities and getting to meet new people was the best part , special thanks to Ma’am Anamika she had made me feel comfortable although I was intimidated in the beginning.

Had a good time doing TEFL

I had a good time doing TEFL course at Asian college of teachers Bangalore .. My trainer Ms Anamika is very insightful and shared real time experiences of how teachers can make a difference.
I also feel that we should make sure that in a class any regional dominance should be avoided as it can impact learning for others..
The professional decorum should be maintained by all so that we do not lose the essence of we we intent to do..
Thank you Asian college for teachers and all the supporting staff and trainers for your guidance and support

Appreciation highlights of training

What made my experience great:
1. Faculty is very knowledgeable and a master of the craft
2. Staff very helpful and amiable
3. The procedural knowledge has equipped me to impart training in a more effective manner
4. The methods and techniques used were not one-sided lecture based and hence was a good learning experience
5. The rigorous peer teach practice helped in boosting confidence to implement the learnings practically
6. Icing on the cake was the real-world teaching experience in school.

Few suggestions for improvements:
1. In a mixed regional group, faculty should encourage to have conversations in English rather than regional languages whenever faculty is not present in the class.

2. Use of foul language is fine with own friends circle however trash talking should be discouraged in a professional institute premises.

3. Religion based conversations and negative discussions should be avoided in the classroom.

My suggestion would be to have a guideline printed inside the premises or classrooms. A briefing on the above decorum by the staff will definitely help. Thanks.

Wonderful Learning Experience

Our trainer (Ms Anamika Mukherjee) has been very articulate and efficient in bringing across the concepts clearly and in a simple way.I personally feel she is very good at aligning the learners to the true direction and purpose of the course. Moreover, she is very engaging and kept up my enthusiasm levels throughout the course.Never did I find it overpowering or boring. In my opinion the procedural knowledge in terms of the lesson plans at TEFL is very informative,unique,creative that can be applied to any field.Through it's various interactive and practical components, the course gave me very good insights on the entire teaching-learning process and its application in a far more interesting, easy and efficient way.
