Nadezhda Proniakova, who has 15 years of teaching experience said: “The course was great and I really enjoyed having the opportunity to teach a class at the college. I’ve been able to take a lot of things from this experience, such as new teaching techniques, ideas to decorate the classroom, and using ICT more frequently, and will adopt them when I return home to my classes.”
The students were given the opportunity to study in Hastings thanks to a newly established partnership between the college and Russian university.
