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 I've learnt about the qualities,roles and responsibilities of both teachers and students in the classroom.I've found out that the teacher might be in the different roles for students in the different situations.Learned what makes a good teacher and what makes a good learner. I've learned more about the kids ages and what they can do during the lesson, found out what difficulties students encounter during language learning.Generally knowing what type of material suits the level of students ,authentic or created material and how to exactly put the material in ESA techniques is extremely helpful . This unit coveredall the need of a teacher how to choose the meteril and to use them with details. To know the advantages and disadvantages of the coursebooks and either using authentic or created meterials in right way will help to avoid the lesson being boring.
