Dear Colleen and classmates. It was a challenge to make it here. I must say CLIL will always stay with me while going through this virtual learning path and dealing with what happened to the world during this period. There is no doubt that everything that happened (in and out of the virtual classroom) was a collaborative process of learning and applying according to our own contexts.
Thanks for this amazing opportunity, I really enjoyed it!
Thank you, Colleen!

Dear Sirin,
Thank you for your support. I updated my knowledge and learned new techniques and resources to use with my TP students.
I'm extremely grateful for being part of this course and I am very happy because now, I will plan using this knowledge to adapt and use English in an appropriate way when I teach in a TP major.
A piece of knowledge I would use when I will prepare an activity is the Cummins' framework because I can evaluate the level of challenge in a task and adapt it according to the context and my students' knowledge.

I have to say that this course is the missing link between what I know and what I needed to know in order to improve many things for my classes. I enjoyed every part of the course and of couse I am happy to know about other teachers and receive their feedback too. it was a great experience for me. I can't wait to use all this new knowledge for my classes and help my students improve their skills.

Let those who start this journey be warned. An adventure lies ahead, and the outcome of it will be in your hands. Fear not the darkness as each step you take brings light to your quest. The sacred scroll you'll read may riddle you a bit, but at those moments you think your lost, remember there are a party and a host. No teacher walks alone.

Hi,

To be hones with you all, I didn´t want to participate in this course, but after a few modules and forums I realized that I was actually learning something new, so I try it on my online classes. There are lots of new methodologies and interactive websites that can be easily use in this new teaching context (Coronateaching). For the new ones, just read the forum task before starting the module, that will give you a purpose and some key words to find and answer the questions, also read every message and comment that your team leave because from there I took some tools to help me teaching online.

Thanks for all Sirin and don´t feed bad about the movement on this side of the world, we are used to them.

Dear Colleen and everyone.
In my opinion this course has really been a great contribution in my career since I have realized that there are so many thing that we regularly do but we didn't know they were so right. We just made by instinct. So I would like to thank Colleen for the opportunity that has given us to see that. Teaching TP English in a Chilean school is a huge challenge. Many may believe that it is just translating technical stuff but it isn't. There is way more than just that.
We heve been doing it well, and we'll teach even better.

Hi everyone,

First, I want to express my gratitude for having the opportunity to participate in this course, it hasn't been easy to catch up, but after finishing each module and participating in every forum discussion, I've realized about how much I've learnt during this almost 4 months!

Our tutor Nelson has been great, his feedback and comments have always been very precise and straightforward, plus whenever I had problems to catch up with any assignment, he was very attentive and supportive. The group in general was very good, they shared thoughtful comments and feedback on one another.

My expectations were fulfilled, I not only updated knowledge but I learned a lot more about CLIL and how I can apply it in my classes.

Thanks again to PIAP and especially to British Council

First of all, I'd like thank Nelson's guidance and support in this learning process which was very challenging, especially in the busy times we're living in.
I really liked the idea of learning how to deal with TP matters since in Chile we lack preparation in this area of study. I realised that is not as difficult as it seems, and that working collaboratively is fundamental to reach any goal. Though the 4 modules I learned different strategies to improve my lessons and I was able to reflect on my own practice as well.

Hello everybody and collegues,
I would like to thank our teacher Nelson Arditto because he is such a professional teacher and person. My personal experience is that I feel more confident talking about TP education and concepts that were not quite clear for me, now are more evident. As we are always being evaluated, I tended to reflect on my teaching performance but I was not sure if I was doing it right. While I was doing the course I realized there were lot of techniques that I used in my lessons and that made me feel I am on the right track. For these reasons, I highly recommend the course to be more clear and to be actively involved using a TP program.
