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 3 has been a challenging experience. The level of difficulty is a fact yet it has introduced me to new methodologies which I will be hopefully applying in class in the near future. In particular, this unit has illustrated that I have an array of methods and teaching techniques to study and learn in order to improve my future competence in English language teaching. I feel grateful for attending this course.The unit covers trouble shooting English speaking skills. It covers building rapport among students and between students and teachers. Additionally, the unit covers different levels of students, reluctance of students, large classes, listening to texts, and reluctance. The skills I currently use as an educator, warm-ups, differentiated lessons, and large classes are dealt with the same way described in the unit.
