I am currently in my second year of Teacher Education in English: a programme that has not only improved my English language skills tremendously, but has also provided me with opportunities for personal development and a positive learning experience. The teachers are there to guide you through each step of the way, as well as help you integrate into and learn about the Dutch school system. Additionally, the lessons adequately prepare you for real-life situations that you might encounter as a teacher. Being part of such a culturally diverse class has given me a much bigger appreciation of multiculturalism. Also, it has offered me insight into how education manifests itself around the world. All in all, this has proven to be a wonderful experience so far. I am looking forward to the rest of the programme and the experiences and learning opportunities that come with it!

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!
