SEROWE, BOTS, SEPT 10-11, 2007

Portable Document Format

The presentation was very good. I found it very interesting and informative, as well as educative too. I have learnt a lot, like how to teach standardised English, teaching phonemes and graphemes, about letter formation etc. which I am going to deliver to my class. I think that our Ministry should spread this methodology to all schools in Botswana, as it is important for our kids. 

The course was enjoyable and fantastic. I have learnt a lot as well as improving my language methodology. I have learnt correct English pronunciation and spelling. This will enhance my teaching. As an educator, I expect my children to improve, more especially on reading and spelling skills. THRASS will also help in improving those children with learning difficulties.

I did gain a lot. The teacher’s patience made the understanding so much easier and better. There was a lot to be taught in a short period of time – this could have been scheduled for more days - in order to extend our understanding. Thanks, Laola, you have been a good teacher. 

THRASS is a very good and interesting methodology of teaching English, hence it gives a foundation on how to speak the correct English using a standardised accent. I have learnt a lot on this course about the different phonemes and graphemes. 

This was so interesting. I learnt that I can make many words from others. It gave me more information on how to teach words using pictures. The methodology can capture the learners’ concentration with the educative games. They seem to be playing, but learning at the same time. 

The course was very educative, as it brought another new method of teaching English in a simple way – e.g. breaking up words. 

The course was a new innovation which addressed better ways of approaching the teaching of handwriting, reading and spelling. The content was too much for two days but as a teacher, I can go and get started. I will contact my peers and supervisors for help where I get stuck. The presentation was good and activities given to participants were appropriate. 

This was a very good moment to learn new skills and ways of dealing with language better – especially for pupils in school. It was also a great opportunity to review some of the methods that I should use in dealing with pupils with learning difficulties. This workshop has been so challenging to things that need more attention in class. I believe from now onwards, I am well equipped with the information that I have learnt at this workshop and hope to pass it on to my class at school. 

I have enjoyed the workshop very much, because I have been equipped with the fruitful method on teaching pupils on how to pronounce and perfect the way of writing. The materials which were used to reinforce the presentation were meaningful. The standard of learning at school will improve because I have learnt many sorts of things, like the difference between a phoneme and a grapheme. 

Very clear and educative. Explanations, technology, use of materials were quite impressive. I am sure the participants enjoyed the session and compared to the training sessions in the past, this has been the best practice. The session also made us realise that we need to order more resources. 

The course now has made me bridge the gaps I had on differentiating phonemes and graphemes. It is an interactive method where all learning styles are catered for. Interesting, hands-on and ensures high standards for teachers, parents and learners. A thrilling programme. 

This has been a very good presentation. This workshop has been very interesting. The content was well presented and I have been exposed to more THRASS resources. I have gained more knowledge and information from the workshop which will help me in monitoring the programme. I would like to recommend that Senior Education officers be trained as trainers so that we can roll down the programme and we are in a position to train the many teachers in using the THRASS material.
