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 think this lesson does a great job introducing the idea of lesson planning and some general guidelines we should look out for in order to create a successful class period. I also appreciate that it builds on earlier lessons to incorporate the ideas about ESA into ideas about planning a lesson. I think if i were to want more information about this lesson, it would be about strategies to keep lessons fresh and balanced.This unit addressed the use of coursebooks and compared the advantages and disadvantages of using either authentic English materials or materials created by the teacher. A new teacher learn how to use proven coursebook and syllabuses to lay the foundation for their course material without ever relying on it too heavily. You can greatly benefit your students by tailoring the material to their specific needs and interests.
