I have enrolled in 280 hour International Advanced Diploma in TESOL/TEFL with Specialization in Business English Teachers Training and Train the Trainer certificate program to strengthen my teaching skills and become more effective in working with English language learners. I particularly enjoyed the modules on communicative teaching and assessment methods—they were practical and immediately applicable. Although managing time during the practicum was challenging, the support from instructors and peers helped me stay on track. I’ve gained a solid foundation in lesson planning, grammar instruction, and classroom management. This course has not only boosted my confidence but also given me the tools to teach in diverse, global classrooms.
