The course book is however only just a beginning in this learning process and thereal learning will only take place when you start to apply the knowledge you have gainedand improve your teaching.In order to help you reflect upon and apply the methodology you gain from the course，you are required to keep a diary， which will form the basis of the seminars with your tutor. At the end of each unit there is an evaluation questionnaire. You are expected toanswer those questions in your diary and be prepared to share your answers at the semi-nars.
