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.

 

The unit has helped me learn about the basic present tenses in English. I believe that it has contributed a lot to me because a teacher first needs to know about the systems of language in order to teach it effectively. This being the case, this unit is like a step for me to increase my awareness of English grammar. I think that I'll feel more comfortable as a teacher when I am fully equipped with English grammar.The present tense is the base when it comes to learning english and most students will start talking in a basic, albeit with errors, present tense - it is good that this unit talks about the common mistakes students have when learning these and how they could overcome them. The different ideas for the activate stages are also very handy, this way we don't limit ourselves when it comes to teaching them by drilling.
