The GA Level 3  Certificate in Teaching Young Learners (TEFL) required me to submit lesson plans and written work which was assessed. I learned to create realistic lessons for children and my assessor wrote the following on my final submission: "This is a very good lesson and written paper. You have shown an understanding of the needs of your 
students. You address all this with a very well-planned lesson that has a clear structure, some lovely activities and realistic learning aims."

through writing.
