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.

 

Information about different test and ways of evaluating your students. From placement test to final external examinations. I do think the difference between a placement test and diagnostic test is very poorly explained. This unit also covers a brief overview of the different certificates available for the students. Information that is widely available and better explained on the internet.in this unit , various roles of teachers like facilitator , police man , instructor, counsellor, pschycologist is explained .
