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.

 

In this unit I learned about phrasal verbs, passive voice and modal auxiliary verbs. This was a very factual unit and I struggled to understand the concepts and workings of phrasal verbs, so I can understand why it would be confusing to students. I would have liked slightly more instruction on how to teach these complex topics, however I have a better understanding of them now so can hopefully find my own ways.Teaching phonetics is a difficult and largely disregarded part of English language teaching. There are different elements to the teaching that include the phonetic alphabet, parts of the mouth and how sounds are made, as well as intonation and how this effects the understand of a given sentence. A fun activity would be to illustrate how things could be miscommunicated with the wrong intonation or pronunciation.
