My experience taking DELTA module 2 at the Anatolia Training Institute was certainly a positive one for many reasons. Firstly, I liked very much how everything was structured using specific deadlines and the way in which the course was organized into different sections using Moodle. Secondly, the interactive sessions every Saturday morning kept me focused and they also helped me to sharpen my skills as a teacher as they helped me to increase my knowledge and understanding of teaching English. I was really satisfied with these sessions because the groups were small, I felt comfortable, and I got to meet some interesting teachers from around the world. Thirdly, the tutors were very professional, friendly, and approachable and were excellent at sharing their knowledge and experience as well as giving constructive feedback on our assignments. The feedback was detailed and pointed out our strengths and weaknesses. I truly believe that it allowed me to reflect on my teaching habits and make adjustments where needed to improve my teaching overall. I knew I was in good hands after the first session, and I had made the right decision to register for DELTA Module 2 at this institution. Finally, this course really made me feel more confident as a teacher and it certainly pointed me in the right direction for continuous professional development. The peer observations as well as the input sessions and feedback on assignments encouraged me to try out new techniques in my classes. What made this so rewarding was the simple changes that I made which had such a huge impact on the motivational levels of my students. This course was certainly a positive learning experience for me.

The course made for a very valuable learning experience, the tutors' support and insight has been particularly notable for me.
I just want to thank you for every thing I've learnt during the course and supporting me with constructive feedback. I found the course really practical and I hope I can apply all the techniques in my real classes. I only have a suggestion, we covered unit 25: Language review after our TPs, but I found it really helpful for analyzing the LG, I wish we had it before our TPs.
As the course successfully balanced theory and practice, it helped me alıt to cover about being a teacher trainer. It also enabled me with a wide contact of colleagues all around the world in various contexts.
Both Suzan and Simon were great. The only criticism I would make would be the pair/group work tasks. It was difficult to meet deadlines when my task depended on others. It would be better if such a task is not on the last week. I get anxious if I cannot meet the deadline.
