What to Consider When Curating the Best Possible Course Experience - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
The overall "course experience" or a critique of daily experiences are too often considered only during course evaluations or in response to vocalized dissatisfaction. As an English teacher (or any teacher) it is your responsibility to craft, adjust, and/or carry-out a course experience that will be the most effective and enjoyable one possible. To do so requires that you give broad thought to your audience, schedule, and how you show up in the course.
