"It helped me to see where I was going wrong with instructions and lesson planning. I now know how to deliver a better lesson and plan for challenges that may arise in the classroom."

Course participant, Türkiye
"The course helped me understand how to manage my classroom better and support my students’ learning needs. It showed me how to plan lessons that keep students active, motivated, and involved in simple and clear ways. I also learned how to give instructions effectively, use pair and group work, and manage time in class. These skills are very useful for my students because they often need extra help, clear guidance, and more practice understanding and use English with confidence."
