Detailed feedback report will be provided about what was taught and areas to improve.

Teaching technique:

-	Presentation (language is presented to learners)

✓ TPR (Total Physical Response) used throughout the lessons, such as gestures and body language, simple and
clear instructions as well as level-appropriate language to keep the learners engaged and focused. 
✓ Error Correction and adjustment based on learners' understanding and abilities. 
✓ Use of props/flashcards and other teaching aids that enhance the class experience.
