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.

 

Assessment and grading is probably the most sensitive class time for students. Even though some tests are designed merely to see what students' already knows, many students are desperate to get perfect score from every single test. Therefore, it is quite important to let students know the purpose of the test. Plus, It will be great if this unit includes how to control and design the level of each tests, such as questionnaire.I don't have much to say regarding this lesson. Very straight forward. Again, it's nice to have examples of potential activities one can use. I would had appreciated a section discussing cultural differences and how this can affect one's understanding of context and other meanings, as people taking the TEFL course have the end goal of teaching those from other cultures, possibly abroad within their future students' culture.
