Metro Central Teacher Comment (July, 2013)

The BCP is the best place to start for learners with limited vocabulary and for closing the vocabulary gap.

Goals and objectives were clear, easy to grasp and manageable.  The enthusiasm and energy with which the course was presented made for an enjoyable 3 days!

For me the most effective aspect was the basic teaching model.  When I implemented the model I found that my learners were more focussed when I followed the steps of the model.
