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.

 

This unit is well prepared.It has sufficient information.Actually,it added to my knowledge.I liked the references that were attached in each part.the sections are arranged logically.Tables were beneficent. the phonemic poem was funny.I really enjoyed it.However,I was in a need for more stress rules. In addition,I did not like that the technique part was not enough.It lacks examples.I did not remember from school that there were so many tenses. It gets quite complicated and takes a few times reading over and watching the videos to get used to. This is a perfect example of how a persons first language can go into their head naturally without having to think about why. Breaking down the different tenses makes it seem like there are so many spokes to the wheel.
