It also increases student retention and promotion of student-teacher interaction and develops in students higher order reasoning and problem-solving skills. So, if you are a teacher you must include collaborative learning in your classes for efficacious learning outcomes. Join our webinar to know some collaborative learning strategies.
Learning Outcome: Understand how we can create a collaborative learning environment

Overall, it was a nice experience. It was interactive and fun. The teaching activities gave me a boost as I really enjoyed the learning experience- especially phonology. Another thing that I particularly liked was the emphasis on empathy towards learners and error correction. The course module focused on being an energetic and communicative teacher as opposed to the stereotypical boring teacher. The feedbacks were constructive and the knowledge we gained was quite all-rounded. Bonus points for the trainer as she was enthusiastic and exuded great energy. Thumbs up :)

This TEFL course has taken me on a journey of self-awareness through learning. It's demanding, rigorous but also fun and engaging. One should definitely come with an open mind for this course as it gives you a different perspective and outlook to the TEFL teaching. Unconventional and productive methods of teaching. I would recommend the In-Class Program for all TEFL aspirants, as it prepares you for anticipatory problems one would face teaching learners of English Language. I'm glad, I participated in this program. Special mention - My trainer, Jhumur, who has been an inspiration and a motivational force for taking my TEFL journey ahead.
