Besides the four main skills required in any language (Listening, Speaking, Writing and Reading), I learnt new organisational skills, how to be a team player, and research skills. The main aim of the course is the role of a teacher and the background of the English language. The work placement we are required to follow from the first year on provides me with the experience of working within the Dutch educational system.

In my first year I started an internship as part of my programme. Once a week I taught at secondary schools. If you love education and children, teaching is a wonderful thing to do. Sometimes it can be difficult to get the attention of all of the pupils, but by practicing your skills as a lecturer will get better. I really enjoyed this experience because I could start practicing my future profession from the beginning of my studies!
