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.
As I skimmed Unit 2, In order to become an English language teacher it is very crucial to learned part of speech on account of myself which is not my own language. And to accross this barrier this lesson will suffice my needs since it is very explanatory and understandable. Learning part of speech make me great English language user since it describes all the components of forming sentences also the specific uses and function.This unit seemed to fit into the type of lesson plan that I tend to create currently so much of the first section was quite familiar to me. I often scribble notes on the side after the lesson and rewrite the lesson based on that the following time it comes around. I really appreciated the suggested categories for the teacher improvement sheet. It was much more thorough and probably much more effective than what I am doing now.
