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.

 

Unit 18 has dealt with passive voice, clauses, phrasal verbs, and modal verbs. It is a very grammar focused unit. Nothing was entirely knew for me, except for the phrasal verbs, which I had never used that classification before. Thus, I believe that it was new information. There were also some tips for classes, such as games and activities that teachers can use. These will be useful for the future.This unit covered the topics of materials and coursebooks. They lesson defined authentic material, which is any material that would be used by a native speaker. This includes magazines, newspaper articles, and videos. The lesson goes on to define created materials, which are materials created by the teacher for the lesson. Lastly, the unit covers the pros and cons of the use of a textbook in class.
