Testimonials

Read what other users of the Alternative Ways method have remarked:

“I observed how some of the exercises opened up a space where the learners were able to see and learn about more of each other’s strengths and weaknesses as learners, and, not at least, what resources they each brought with them to class”.

“I really enjoyed this exercise, because it was so playful”.

Norway

"I liked the different approaches! The lessons are more active and engaging.”

Belgium
Learner

"I love to work with the Alternative Ways method as I see that the students both learn and have fun. The latter is maybe the most important, because having fun encourages everybody to learn better!"

"The typical classroom atmosphere should be avoided, for instance by putting chairs in a circle ... The use of mobile phones should be allowed. They can be helpful for translations."

"You need to invest a bit of time, but it’s worth it! I developed new lessons, got new insights and it made me grow as an educational professional!"

Belgium
Facilitator

"It helped to talk with other students. We got to know a lot more about each other! It also made me feel welcome and at ease!"

Belgium
Student

"I don't immediately see how to use the tool [the evaluation game] as an evaluation tool. I do see many opportunities though to use it with various groups to assess their language level, or to map their fields of interest or work points."
