2022 TESOL graduate Chong reflects on what she gained from the programme. Supportive and inspiring teachersFor students, the process of growing up is always difficult and good teachers are supporters who may change a student's life. So I want to be an excellent educator, providing students with knowledge and psychological support. And I believe deeply that education is a socially relevant profession because it can make the world different in positive ways.What I enjoyed most about this programme was the inspiring teaching style of my teachers. Instead of listening to the instructor overloading me with information, I made unexpected progress in each learning session set by the instructor, such as reading, completing after-class tasks, joining class discussions, and writing essays. Gaining vital skillsThis course taught me how to think independently, form my own unique perspective, challenge authority and inherent knowledge and information, build critical thinking, and develop self-learning skills.This programme allows students to overcome numerous challenges and grow into independent learners with comprehensive skills.A graduate degree can make me more competitive in my career, and the academic knowledge of education learned in the programme can support my teaching. The learning and thinking skills helped me to become a better me.Alumni words of wisdomEducation is not utilitarian, it is noble and full of meaning.
