This is not research. It's just a short personal experience article about CELTA trainees in a newsletter. It would be very interesting research, but I'm not the person to do it.

> Just picking up on Frances' comment that the numbers might be small, so not useful from a research perspective (I'm paraphrasing). large numbers are not the key to useful research. RAther, you need a well thought through research question or puzzle, and a methodology that is appropriate to address it. If Jane were to go ahead with this project, a small-scale study - possibly a series of linked case studies - would work as well, if not better, than a broad survey approach.
