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.

 

The second unit covered parts of speech in particular grammar. It covered introductory grammar as well as more advanced grammar using examples which included the do's and don'ts of grammar. It also provided word banks to show the transformation of words into their past present and base forms. The chapter thoroughly covered: nouns, adjectives, articles, verbs, adverbs, gerunds, pronouns, and prepositions/conjunctions.In this Chapter I have learned the parts of a sentmeve. I have learned exactly how a sentence is compses of a subject and verb, while usually featuring more worsa than this. It amazed me how much I really learned from this section. I thought the pronoun section was very up to date as well. What struck me the most was all of the rules we have in the english language that I have become accustomed to without realizing.
