This page is about the interesting experience and learning with Beril.
I liked all activities in this course. Beril is a devoted and nice teacher, highly creative. Her feedback was important for me as a teacher and as a human being because she presented relevant videos and activities such as: (1) "Draw your future", (2) Good conversations, (3) Elevator speech, (4) The marschmallow challenge, (5) Working in teams. We also recorded two videos. In my case they were about transformational leadership in educational organizations.
She also gave us very interesting and relevants tools and websites to improve our listening and speaking skills.
Because of her commitment, creativity, and devotion this course will be memorable.
