My experience of the course was really good.

SURAVI MONDAL

My experience in this 21-day in-class TEFL course in Asian College of Teachers, Kolkata has been extremely profound in every possible manner. Starting from the first week I learnt about a multitude of theories and methods and upskilled myself on all the skills of reading, writing, listening, speaking, grammar, phonology. It has been a wonderful journey so far and I am going to miss every bit of it now that it is over.
