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 thirteen i learnt a lot about phonology,the normal pattern of intonation in a statement which is the rise and fall,flat intonation.the techniques for indicating and teaching intonation;nonsense words,by gesture,humming or singing,the board etc.also learn how to stress word,rules about word stress articulation,the speech organs,place of articulation,manner of articulation,africative and approximant.This unit introduced several games and activities that can be used in measuring and increasing the learners vocabulary and help the learner practice conversations. By getting the class to participate in these activities, it gives the teacher a way of assessing the level the various students are at without them being aware. This creates a more relaxed atmosphere for the students to express themselves in.
