Practical demonstration of mediation. Louis is an excellent mediator and it really helped to see it demonstrated. Loved the dedication, enthusiasm and firm belief in worth of BC approach to learning. I really think you opened our eyes to new methods of promoting learning and especially development of language.

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.

I have never been to such a training. I was motivated and I can't wait to implement at the ECD and I hope I'll be doing my best!

The emphasis on language throughout the programme helps to develop learners' understanding of concepts and expand their vocabulary. The BCP stops learners from guessing, it gives them more structure and develops their cognitive functioning.
