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.

I really appreciated the short and concise summary of developmental and language acquisition theories. It was also very important to analyze the environment in which young students can learn, and how it varies from one age group to another. Equally interesting was the section on a teacher's roles in these classrooms; I had not fully considered how different they would be from adult classes (including the policeman!).This unit is very important in many ways as there are many different types of students that a teacher may encounter. The methods in management are however still not exhaustive as there a learners that are just not motivated to do their work despite what the teacher may choose to do or the nature of rapport established. there are no clear cut ways to deal with ALL students and teachers have to adapt to the situation.
