"Very helpful, good experience"

Marta Tymcio-Hueter, student from Switzerland

In general, I would recommend this course, but I have a few comments.
Firstly, I was not informed about the results of the test I had to take before the course. I only got the answer that it was mixed and that my English is fine. In my opinion, I should know if my level is A1 or B1 etc.. So I didn't know why I was in the group I was in.
Secondly, I was expecting that we would go through specific material, part of the book and so on.
Basically, we discussed a lot throughout the week, but I felt like I was just practising speaking.
Overall, it was helpful, but I was expecting a better organized course (if it comes to material cover)

"One of the best courses I have ever been to"

Zuzana Vicianová, student from Slovakia

The best part of the course was the teacher- patient, funny, kind, energetic.. and and my classmates- I have found 2 new friends from 2 different countries. The content of the course was perfect for me. I have learnt a huge number of apps and programmes which are interesting and inovative. I will definitely use them on my lessons. I appreciate the timing- afternoon we had time to explore Malta, we experienced trips to Valleta, Mdina...with an excellent guide - Mario. Thank the school for that! The price for the trips was fantastic! But... I must complain about one thing. I was in Malta and this institute for the first time, I didn´t know there is an option to be acommodated in the building upstairs. Nobody asked me/told me. I booked Tropicana hotel, which is located nearby, 1minute on foot...excellent location, but! The worst experience. Terrible conditions, dirty, poor breakfast, poor services etc, So please...inform participants about acommodation- where to stay? my classmates were in different hotel, but.. also complained about night bars below their windows, etc. It would be really helful if you help with best places where to stay and where not. THANK YOU,

"The best teacher ever!"

Elisabeth Davidsson, student from Sweden

Our teacher was wonderful, she was engaging, encouraging, funny, well prepared and did her best to make us students feel comfortable and seen. I learned a lot!

The amount of students in the class was perfect, about 12-ish. The lessons were held at a hotel, which was nice, I would be nicer though if there was a coffee- machine availible as the there was (in my opinion) not enough time to buy drinks during the breaks.

I attended two guided tours, one to Valleta and one to Mdina, and I recommend them both!

"A huge amount of for me new & exciting apps and skills."

Regina Barbara Margreth Bah, student from Switzerland

I would never have imagined that I would get so much - for me new infomation on ICT skills in just one week. I liked our teacher, Jo Borg, a lot. She was so motivating and full of energy. - The problem was, however, that my IT knowledge was too basic for this course " Boost up your ICT skills in the classroom". I wish I could redo this course at a slower speed.
It's great that Jo has sent us all the documents, apps and information by email so that there is a chance to go over it again. On the other hand, I think I would really like to attend such a course again.

"It was OK but I have some ideas how it could be better."

Alice Bílková, student from Czech Republic

The classes were really great, except the first day, which was filled with theory. But I was tired after long flight so it could be because of that. From the second day on, the classes were really useful, full of new ideas or ideas I knew already with different usage. The teacher was helpful, always very well prepared. We did quite a lot of different activities but sometimes there was not enough time to practice them, nevertheless all of us were teachers so we could easily adopt them to our usage. The location is great not far from the capitol, the sea etc. As I organized my housing by myself I will skip this.

At the first day at school I would rather find my name on a list of names and find my classroom by myself. We had to wait for an hour than Sandra read all the names, which was difficult for her either. I understand that it was also kind of check whether we are all present , but it could have been done in the classrooms. And also in our course prize was included 1 trip and there should be 2 more afternoon activities which were due to covid measurements cancelled, but nobody told us whether they will be refund. Also the computer activities were not as helpful as it could be.

All in all I enjoyed the course, I was happy that I could underwent both weeks of this methodology course, which was not possible before I left.
