ETII Agadir

We had the pleasure of having an online feedback session with our trainer, Mr. Ahmed Touzalt, following the classroom sessions he observed as part of our training journey.
During this meeting, Mr. Touzalt shared valuable insights, constructive feedback, and practical recommendations that will help us grow as teachers and improve our classroom practices. His observations and guidance encouraged us to reflect on our strengths, identify areas for improvement, and continue developing our teaching skills with confidence.

On Sunday, June 7th, ETII trainees and alumni Kawtar and Abdellatif met with Prof. Ahmed Atlagh and Prof. Ahmed Touzalt to discuss the upcoming Students' Projects Showcase.
Both trainers shared valuable insights and guidance to help shape what promises to be an enriching experience for everyone involved.
This showcase will be a great opportunity for students to step up, take the stage, and present their projects entirely in English, putting their language skills to the test in a real meaningful setting.
Stay tuned for more updates as the big day approaches. A huge thank you to Prof. Atlagh, Prof. Touzalt, Kawtar, and Abdellatif for their time and dedication to our trainees' success!

On June 2nd, I had the pleasure of connecting online with Prof. Ahmed Atlagh for a post-lesson feedback discussion following his visit to my class at ISAT Inezgane.
I was genuinely moved by his thoughtful and kind feedback. He highlighted my professional presence and voice projection, the learner-centered atmosphere I work hard to build, and, what meant the most to me, the strong rapport I've developed with my students. Knowing that they genuinely enjoy the learning experience we create together is everything.
Of course, great feedback always comes with direction for growth, and his constructive notes on participation management, elicitation techniques, and pacing gave me clear, actionable steps to push my practice even further.
I walk away from this experience feeling both valued and challenged, exactly what a teacher needs to keep growing. Grateful to be part of the ETII program and to have trainers who genuinely invest in their trainees' development.
Onwards!

On Wednesday, June 3 , 2026, I had our make-up session with the Level One Inzgane group. The session focused on a mock exam designed to prepare the students for the real exam next week. The students showed significant improvement in the four language skills, which reflects their desire to continue improving. At the end of the session, we had our first look at the students' projects and practiced different ways in which they could present them. The students are looking forward to the finals .

This Tuesday, 19th May 2026, we wrapped up the semester with two back-to-back sessions.

First, we reviewed all the key lessons from the semester.

Second, each group presented their creative and unique projects to the class. After that, we voted on which project will represent us at the upcoming showcase.

We also had the pleasure of receiving Prof. Ahmed Atlagh, who joined us to observe the session.

To close it out, we had the final exam. Tough but fair, and it marked the end of a genuinely solid semester. I’m proud of how far this group has come.

We’ll meet again after Eid to prep for the showcase.

Looking forward to seeing these projects on stage.

Today, May 16th, I had another amazing session with my students at Inzgane Handicraft Center! We started with a fun counting game where students had to clap instead of saying numbers containing 3, 6, or 9. It was a great way to practice focus.
Then, we continued reviewing Units 1 and 3, focusing on titles, common and proper nouns, possessive adjectives, and asking about contact information using “what” + the verb “to be.”
We ended the session with an interactive alphabet activity involving hand movements for each letter, which kept everyone active and engaged while reinforcing alphabet recognition. A fun and productive session overall!
But the most special moment came at the end. My students surprised me with a small party, they had prepared to celebrate all they’ve accomplished so far. I was so moved by their kindness, and I truly appreciate all the effort they put in. They presented me with a Teacher Appreciation Award, a beautiful plaque. I am so grateful for this thoughtful recognition.

On May 2nd, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., it was a pleasure to welcome Mr. Atlagh, who observed my class with the Level 1 students. I put a great deal of effort into making the lesson engaging, interactive, and meaningful for my learners.
Then, on May 10th, we had a Zoom meeting where he provided me with detailed feedback. He gave a comprehensive overview of his observations, carefully breaking down the different phases of the lesson. He highlighted my strengths while also identifying areas for growth, such as refining my pacing and participation management.
I truly appreciate his balanced and constructive feedback, as it gave me a clearer understanding of both my strengths and the areas where I can continue to improve. I now feel much more confident about the next steps in my professional development journey

On Saturday, May 2nd, 2026, the classroom session was such a blast! We did a full review with my students centered on vocabulary and locations. We used a word search, a spelling bee competition where teams challenged each other, and a map with fun riddles for giving directions. It was super engaging; everyone worked in teams and competed. I was also honored to have a visit from Prof. Atlagh who observed my session.I was really happy to have him there! We finished with a challenging word search on numbers from 0 to 20, and it really made them focus and help each other out. I loved seeing how lively and interactive it was. These games kept everyone engaged, and I even introduced a memory game with words and images. Such a great session!

On 17/04/2026, I observed a Junior 4 session at the ALC. It was a very useful experience, and I learned a lot from the way the teacher managed the class and presented the lesson. The teaching methods were effective because they helped students understand the language step by step and encouraged them to participate actively.
The activities used during the session were also very helpful. They gave students opportunities to practice English through speaking, listening, and interaction with their classmates. I noticed that these activities made the lesson more engaging and helped learners feel more confident using English in a real classroom context.
Overall, this observation showed me how important good planning, clear instructions, and interactive activities are in an English language session. It helped me understand how effective teaching methods can support students’ learning and make the class more successful.
