As part of their course, students from our early years and primary education courses had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to teach children English in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The trip provided these students with the opportunity to teach children in their non-native language as well as inspire and develop their teaching practices.

‘It’s given me a new perspective on the education system in this country. I’ve started doing things in my practice that I wouldn’t have had the confidence to do. It’s really pushed what I think I can do in the classroom.’
