Response from Teach Away
Hi Jenny,
We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed the course. Congratulations once again on your successful completion!
We appreciate your feedback on the difficulty of teaching when you don't speak the local language. This is something that many TEFL teachers find difficult which is why it is discussed in the specializations aimed at teaching speakers of other languages, such as 'Teaching English to Mandarin Speakers'. Though we do not currently offer a module on teaching Hebrew speakers, it is certainly something we will keep in mind for the future.
Best of luck to you in your classroom!
Elspeth
