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.

 

Modal verbs can be a very powerful grammatical tool, as they allow the speaker to express varying degrees of aspects such as certainty and capability. Passive voice is used when the agent of the action of a sentence is either less important or unknown. Phrasal verbs are useful and sound natural, so it is in a teacher's interest to use them in conversation with students, so that the students will be able to pick them up naturally.The major point of this unit is the make learning fun and interesting by choosing your teaching materials carefully. Keeping in mind the students skill level and interest. Course books can be a more structured with lesson plans in a set order. However, some people will become disinterested due to their general topics. Using created and or authentic materials keeps the lesson relative to the student's interests and skill level.
