Participant Testimonials

"Having the opportunity to demo teach and have my peers critique me teaching really helped me to see my strengths and weaknesses in a very constructive manner."


"Over the past week, I was really enlightened to learn:
1) I can effectively use the target language to teach my students, even beginners
2) The more student involvement in the classroom the better; always include student-centered activities for language learning."
