Feedback:

Na jazykovom kurze som bola veľmi milo prekvapená ústretovým a priateľským prístupom lektorov a ďalších zamestnancov jazykovej školy. Vyskúšala som si rôzne metódy výuky a učenia. Zoznámila som sa s mnohými novými trendmi získavania informácií. Veľká vďaka patrí nášmu lektorovi Filipovi, ktorý nás zbavil strachu konverzovať v angličtine. Naučila som sa ďalšie slová. Hodiny s Filipom a Tarou boli veľmi pestré a zábavné. S ďalšími kolegyňami sme sa cítili uvoľnene a príjemným zážitkom bol aj obed v stredu na promenáde pri Dunaji. Veľmi ďakujem, že som mohla byť súčasťou projektu Erasmus.

Chcela by som sa veľmi poďakovať za priateľskú atmosféru na vašej škole. Ako úplný začiatočník mi vyhovoval prístup obidvoch lektorov Filipa a Tary. Na hodinách som sa cítila uvoľnene a každý deň som sa posúvala k lepšej výslovnosti slovíčok aj fráz. Snažila som sa porozumieť aj anglickým pokynom. Páčila sa mi práca vo dvojiciach, ale aj striedanie partneriek pri rozhovoroch, zaraďovanie dramatizácie reálnych situácií, práce s obrázkovými materiálmi a pracovnými listami. Mali sme priestor na vyjadrenie.Taktiež popoludňajšia prechádzka a výborný obed v reštaurácii ma veľmi potešili. Tiež som načerpala nové skúsenosti, ako možno pracovať na našich hodinách. Odnášam si nové námety, napríklad umelú inteligenciu v technológiách. Ďakujem.

Na kurze panovala veľmi priateľská a uvoľnená atmosféra. Cítila som sa tu veľmi príjemne. Učitelia a lektori Filip a Tara mali hodiny zaujímavé a pútavo pripravené. Snažili sa nám podávať čo najviac informácií s ohľadom na zloženie účastníkov. Pri Filipovi som si rozšírila obzory o umelú inteligenciu s presahom do svojho života. Pri Tare som zistila, že aj s rodenou hovoriacou sa nemusím obávať komunikovať. Krásna bola aj prechádzka a spoločný obed.Ďakujem nielen lektorom, ale tiež vedeniu školy za možnosť zúčastniť sa projektu Erasmus. Ďakujem a prajem vám všetko dobré.

Na anglický kurz som odchádzala s obavami, keďže moje jazykové znalosti neboli na dobrej úrovni, už pri prvej pondelkovej lekcii som však bola milo prekvapená predovšetkým prístupom lektora Filipa a následne aj prístupom lektorky Tary. Veľmi ľudský, príjemný prístup, ktorý odbúral môj strach z výuky vzhľadom k tomu, že kurz bol vytvorený na mieru. Keďže nás vtedy bolo 7 študentov prebiehala výuka veľmi spontánne a akčne. Veľmi ďakujem, že mi bolo umožnené prežiť si a absolvovať túto životnú skúsenosť na International House Bratislava.

Príjemní ľudia,to znamená vyvážený prístup lektora a lektorky posúvajúci dopredu, ale aj rešpektujúci tempo účastníčok. To bolo motivujúce v snahe zlepšovať komunikáciu a ochotu, nebáť sa prehovoriť. Schopnosť a túžba hovoriť bola lektormi naozaj podporovaná.Taktiež kolektív účastníčok a ich príjemná vzájomná spolupráca boli pre mňa veľké plus. Vašu školu si zapamätám ako veľmi ústretovú, kde sa vyhovie aj malým detailom.
