    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.

     

    This unit helped me gain a grasp on the ability to manage and lead a classroom. It was very informative on ways to set up your classrooms layout and arrangement. It also gave me very good information on ways to set up teaching lessons and subjects that include student interaction. It gave me a great sense of understanding the different ways you can take a lesson and have your students get the most out of it.Good unit, lesson planning is important to me since in my past experiences teaching english my lessons plans were not completed properly and this led to disorganisation. Good coverage of course books and how they are useful to class / becoming very familiar with the ESA methodology. Always good to have more coverage / discussion on disciplinary issues. It's important to have many resources to deal with students
