Gotoco month-long placement in Thailand

It is truly very unique to have such an insightful experience provided at such a heavily subsidised cost. You learn so much during the five weeks, not only about what it means to be a good teacher, but also about a foreign culture in a way that is impossible to do when you a only visiting as a tourist.It has given me greater awareness of what teaching English abroad entails, as it is a career option I have been considering for some time now. I believe that, should I pursue this as a career path, I will be better informed on how to be a better teacher. It was also great being put with 4 other gotoco'ers as it necessitated effective communication every day to better plan our lessons, and I feel that this has been the area which I have most improved on.
