I really enjoyed the whole experience. At the beginning, it felt like there was a lot of information to take in, but gradually I got the hang of it. That said, I believe the course could benefit from some adjustments to better suit the online setting. For instance, when disconnections happen on the teacher’s side, that time shouldn’t count as part of the class—this wouldn't be the case in a face-to-face session. Also, students often join from unstable connections (like on the metro), and they come and go during the session. There should be clear instructions for students about when they can join, especially after the first 30 minutes. On a positive note, I really loved using Moodle and appreciated how organized and user-friendly it was.

It was a great experience. Really intense indeed but at the end it was worth it.

Taking the CELTA course at ITI Istanbul was an incredible and unique experience. The tutors were highly supportive, accessible, and flexible. I had the privilege of learning from truly wonderful tutors who guided me throughout the course and provided detailed, constructive feedback that was both insightful and enlightening.

I'm quite satisfied with my experience. The OCT was always flexible and considerate of everyone's schedule for the live sessions. She is very knowledgeable, and her insights will stay with me throughout my future career. The TP tutors were also supportive, kind, and patient, and they provided us with valuable positive and constructive feedback.

My overall experience on the course was very good and truly beneficial. I learned many new things about teaching, including how to make lessons more student-centered, how to use different interaction patterns effectively, and how to create a positive and engaging classroom environment. The course helped me reflect on my teaching style and gave me practical strategies to improve my lessons. I feel more confident now in planning activities, managing classroom interactions, and supporting my students' learning in a more meaningful way. Before this course, I was an amateur in teaching, mostly following the traditional way of teaching where the teacher did most of the talking and students were passive listeners. I wasn’t fully aware of the different teaching techniques that could make lessons more interactive and engaging. This course opened my eyes to more modern, student-centered approaches that encourage participation, communication, and collaboration among learners. It helped me shift from a teacher-led method to one where students are more involved, active, and confident in their learning process.
