An improvement in language teaching practice and increased personal confidence were the most commonly reported outcomes of regional training courses run by the CILT Comenius Network last year, according to a report released this month.

The report shows the results of a survey and telephone interviews with participants at a random sample of 50 nationwide events between September 2007 and March 2008. Participants demonstrated a general satisfaction with the events, considering them relevant, useful, and beneficial to their teaching practice. 100% of ratings were excellent or good, and all participants said that they intended to further their professional development through future events.
