Preeti Jain @ TEFL June 2017 B'lore

I'm Preeti Jain from Bangalore India. I'm a chartered accountant by profession. I've just finished my TEFL certification via an in-class training from Asian College of Teachers Bangalore. I've been teaching informally from quite sometime. But I've been wanting to change my teaching style and make it more fun and exciting. I wanted more value addition for my learners. I believe that my choice to obtain this TEFL certificate was a right step in right direction. Because, this course doesn't teach is English but innovative methods about how to teach English, which is precisely what I needed.

This was an academic experience for me after a long time and I must admit that I enjoyed it very much!! Warmers in class kept us active and helped us bond. It motivated me to adopt and include fun learning in my classes so that my learners could have an equally fun experience. Out trainer June has reshaped me into a more capable and compassionate teacher. Every staff at the college gave us constant support emotionally and during class training every single day. Meera and Madhu cared for our well being and it was such a beautiful and novel experience. First person to greet me every morning was Bhargavi and her smiles and encouragement kept me going on.

My dream is to teach students in different countries and help them learn English. I know the pain while trying to acquire second or third language, where we are unsure about our spellings, pronunciation, structure and usage. And it motivated me that i make learning new language an easier and fun process.

I want this journey of teaching English to take me places, to meet different people and just give my learners my best and more. To everyone reading this, don't hesitate, just go for it. This course makes you a better teacher and this experience makes you a better person.

What would you improve about this program?
Alumni meetings could be introduced to create networking opportunities.
Also, another week or two can be added for preparation of TESOL board examination for the students who want to opt for it.

Feedback

My experience at the Asian college of teachers was quite an overwhelming experience. The TESOL course has provided me with optimum benefit to trek the path of teaching young children in the long run. the methodologies used during the course has been well coordinated and very realistic. Furthermore, the teacher practice was outstanding. It was truly amazing being able to practice all that was learned in class to be implemented in an EFL/ESL platform and i was astonished to find the smooth transition of how i was before the course and how i managed to progress through the lessons.

ACT June's batch in June

Overall the course was very inspirational and motivating. The trainer was excellent in teaching and clarifying any doubts. Her words of encouragement helped to believe in ourselves. I am very pleased to have joined and completed this TEFL course. I have learned so much about myself and how i want to incorporate TEFL abroad. The staff at ACT are so helpful, friendly and warm which makes its easier to share any concerns. Fellow peers also made the class a lively environment with lots of support and continuous help for each other. The trainer Ms. June is an inspiring teacher/ mentor, who not only taught very well but also had the ability to read each of the students. This is an extra gift and helped many to discover or rediscover their way. Her words are comforting yet motivating.

What would you improve about this program?
Again as mentioned before it would be helpful if the list of PGs was revised and better managed PGs were sought to avoid student apprehensions and tension during their stay in Bangalore.
The course itself was faultless. I would recommend this TEFL course run by ACT to anyone interested mainly because of the Trainer. So they should do it wherever June is conducting it.

Tefl June Batch

It has been an amazing experience. I had absolutely no idea what this course would entail and what was expected of me but it all turned out to be a smooth journey. The TEFL course offered by Asian College of Teachers is a very well planned out one . It tackles all areas of teaching in an efficient way . The in-class experience was great! So were the Peer Teaches and Teaching practices at school. My peers have been so supportive and friendly and they along with the trainers and other staff here made this such a fabulous experience!
So much gratitude for my Trainer June and her co- trainers Meera Ma'am and Madhushree. Also, thank you Bhargavi for being yourself and brightening our days with your sweet smile every morning.

What would you improve about this program?
Maybe have alumni meetings for networking, feedback and reconnecting with each other.
The course could be a bit longer so more topics could be taught to us

TEFL, Bangalore

The course was fabulous, energetic and enthusiastic. The group was very encouraging and motivating. Our trainer, June was a fantastic woman with loads of talent and experience. She guided us with all her heart and put us in a right direction. She used many activities, warmers and many more to keep us energetic and keep us going.
The course material was informative and guiding. I am very happy to have pursued this course as it has triggered my past experiences and made me acquire a lot of skills.
My favorite memory that would remain with me forever is the teaching practice as I got a lot experience as well as i realized my areas of improvement.

A remarkable journey

As I am from basically English medium I didn't have much problem with the language. But the way we were trained it was a all together new way and technique of teaching and lesson plan. I just enjoyed the class and my peers moreover our trainer was too good. I really feel like if some day I can inculcate qualities which will really be pleasant and can be a trainer. I would love to travel worldwide and want to be a teacher/ trainer.

Overall, I have learned a lot throughout the course and it was a great experience to be a part of ACT. Faculties are really supportive in every aspect. They keep us providing optimum level of support throughout the journey and hoping for a lifetime support from ACT team. I am now having a feeling of enhanced professionalism and get a reliable experience from the faculty of ACT.. Overall satisfactory experience...

What would you improve about this program?
This program is very well planned and well focused but it should also include tertiary teaching / adult teaching along with the teaching process.

A wonderful experience!

The journey of 21 days has been unique. I never anticipated that the course would be so fulfilling and enjoyable. The course was very well conducted by our trainer, Kuhurina Basu, who is a very accomplished and experienced person. Her knowledge, patience, warmth & sense of humor is amazing. Rimpa, has been a huge support, ever smiling and ready to help. We were privileged to have Kuhu and Rimpa in the journey of our learning process. The learning process was very smooth, made easy and extremely enjoyable. The interaction between the course mates was absolutely amazing. In the duration of the course, we all became a family and a beautiful bond was created. The practice lessons were highly enjoyable, interaction with young learners was an amazing experience. I was in awe at how the strategies taught in TEFL, was successful when implemented in class.

My TEFL journey was amazingly enriching. The mentors , the classroom, the positive vibes , the environment and the smell of this class , I am going to miss everything so much. The training at schools and the beautiful, lovely children blossomed my heart in a way I cant describe. The fun activities in the class made me realize how teaching kids can be fun and enjoyable. Our country needs such kind of education and training at primary level for the improving th education system. I want to make use of my certificate and the learning to make a better world.

I have got a very wonderful experience while doing this course, which has completely transformed my pedagogical approach in language teaching. I find this course to be very contributing in my future endeavours. Trainers were absolutely fantastic and were very supportive. I learnt some very important techniques and methods, which are very useful to enhance the productivity in the class. I will always remember our trainer, and my classmates. It was really great to have an opportunity to be the part of this program.

The journey of the entire course will be etched in my mind...an unforgettable experience...moments of learning, joy, happiness, laughter and bonding.

What would you improve about this program?
The program is enriching in every possible manner. We must promote this course as much as we can in order to produce better teachers for the future generations :) Ways and strategies of Tertiary teaching should be included and emphasized. Overall the course was very good, however I feel the grammar section should be dealt in more detail.

Meeting New Friends

I really liked meeting people from different parts of the world and finding that we all share the same hope and vision for the future. I am amazed how strangers who just met each other will unquestionably help those in trouble. It just goes to show how much we should not judge others from first meeting / appearance. Though I considered this course expensive, I believe it will turn out to be beneficial in future.

What would you improve about this program?
More information should be given to aspiring teachers without degrees before they enroll for the course.
