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.

 

What I appreciated most about this unit is that it explains concisely what you should keep in mind when selecting texts and how best to use them to maximise the development of receptive skills. It also provided me with a greater understanding of how people tend to read or listen to information. This seemingly simple bit of information has informed my process when selecting texts for my students.My biggest takeaway from this unit was realizing the complexity of english grammar and how difficult it must be as an english language learner ti start out, especially at a more mature age. The irregular nature of the English language is something I hadn't given much thought until recently and I think this was a very helpful lesson in the way that it helps teachers empathize with their students.
