In this episode, we cover the pronunciation of the word filibuster. This word can be used both as a noun and as a verb. As a noun, it refers to a speech that avoids the progress in a legislative assembly while not technically being illegal or unlawful. As a verb, it describes the action of acting in an obstructive manner in legislature. The word originates from the Dutch vrijbuiter meaning freebooter.

Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching. This convenient, highly structured design means that you can quickly get to grips with each section before moving onto the next.

The final unit of the course went over certain common problems that occur in different teaching situations such as listening problems, dealing with a completely new group of students and breaking the ice with reluctant members of class. The text also discussed the best way to establish rapport with different types of classes to create the most effective learning environment.This unit was greatly helpful in understanding the different aspects and usages of present tense. It helped me to understand that different aspects in this broad category called 'present tense' should be used when talking about different scenarios/situations. This knowledge about grammatical aspects in English language will undoubtedly assist me in my future teaching career.
