ISTD Course Feedback ‘I think that this course was interesting, useful and unusual … I have been working at school for 19 years and I have never been to such interesting courses. I liked the atmosphere, full immersion in English.’ ‘I’m grateful for this course as it taught me to work in a team.’ “We were not given direct answers to our questions, we were led to ‘discoveries’.” “My lessons have become more effective. My students are involved more actively and the process of teaching is more interesting itself.” “The workshops became the source of my own new ideas and gave me a push to look for something new and to change something in my lessons.” “… I’ve tried to use some of new ideas in my class and happily noticed that my students were willing to join.” www.britishcouncil.org 14
