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 learned about the methods of testing students, and the purpose of each method. Practice and diagnostic exams are used to place the student in the correct level as well as to discover weaknesses that are prevalent for teaching. We also use progress testing to continually check on the students' grasp of previous lessons, and will use practice tests to help them prepare for internal or external examinations.This unit was about teaching a new language. Lessons need to include vocabulary, grammar and functions, though not all at the same time. The ESA approach can be easily used depending on the lesson. It is important to always begin with ENGAGE and end with ACTIVATE. Lessons should be level appropriate and relevant to the students' lives. I believe that this will engage them and make the process more meaningful for them.
