TEFL Course

Last weekend me and Amy took attended a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) course in Newcastle.

I wasn't particularly looking forward to it, i've never really done any 'proper' teaching before, just sports stuff so i wasn't too sure of what to expect. Not to mention that we had to complete the 20 hour course in one weekend, which meant 11 hours on the Saturday and 9 on the Sunday! it certainly gives a new meaning to the term 'long weekend'.

The course was in fact, very good. I really enjoyed it, it was delivered very well and i would definately recommend it. Everyone else at the course seemed to enjoy themselves, even all the mock 'lessons' that we had to teach were very jovial...

...i'm sure i'll found out soon enough if it was worth the money or not... 5 weeks til we go to Japan! Woo Hoo!!!
