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.

 

I have learned about Teachers and Learners. Specifically I learned what makes a good teacher and strategies to motivate learners. I learned about the different levels of English language learners. Also I learned about being sensitive to learners of different cultures. I learned that I will have to strategize by utilizing the role of a manager, organizer,, assessor , prompter, participant, tutor, facilitator, model and observer.This unit takes a close look at receptive skills of reading and listening.The learner does not need these skills to produce the language. These skills are necessary for receiving and understanding a language. This unit examines the importance of these skills and then covers various techniques and activities associated with them. The task material is very helpful in assisting in understanding the concepts presented in this unit.
