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.

 

In this unit we have learned that course book is, obviously, very important for the teaching process, but being written for a general audience it needs to be integrated by some extra materials provided by the teacher. These materials are divided in two groups: Authentic ( magazine, poems, video, magazines etc.) and Created ( role-play cards, picture stories, crosswords flash cards etc.)This unit is particularly important because it presents the class daily routine. The importance of working in group, the teacher and student talking. The importance of a correct eye contact, gesture and voice. Classroom arrangements, the best way to give instructions, using images, being simple, establishing rapport. In other words, little details that make all the difference in the end.
