How I found the diploma in TESOL course.
When the course books arrived in the post my first thoughts were, “how
on earth am I going to get through all this?!?” But the truth is this is a very well balanced course which I
have found fascinating, challenging and thoroughly rewarding. At times it has
been quite demanding, both in terms of time and effort; at other times it has
been quite inspirational (I have now developed an amateur interest in
psychology!); and sometimes it has been (for a native speaker) a little unnerving - I found myself reaching for my grammar books quite often!! But apart from
being an illuminating course it is also very supportive and well graded. Now
that I am at...no, I shan’t say the end of my studies because one thing I have
learned on this course is that the learning process is an ongoing one; but now
that I have completed the course can I say that it has all been worth it? Well,
having been offered my first teaching position less than 2 weeks after being
awarded my diploma, I think the answer is a resounding YES!!!!
Especially helpful for me were the further reading lists, they
helped me to decide what to read and when. The support I received, in
particular from the admin team, was first class. Do I have any complaints? Only
one- that there is no alumni association is a shame. I now look forward to the
next challenge- the diploma in Teaching Business English!
