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 am glad that I finished all units. I learned a lot of things, especially techniques in handling various types of students. I also appreciate you guys giving us a list of resources available to help us teach the language better. I feel more excited now to teach not just 1-1 but also a class. I hope that by taking this course, it would help open more opportunities for teachers like us who would like to teach English to foreign learners.Some testing can be done online in order to save precious classroom time for practice and fluency exercises while some testing, especially testing of fluency, would have to be done in person, in the classroom. Testing can be creative too--dialogues or conversations between students, debates, story telling, etc. Testing holds an emotional component and can serve to either encourage or discourage students so testing should be used wisely.
