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.

 

When we choose what vocabulary to teach, we have to pay attention to the appropriacy, pronounciation, similarity to the student's language and similarly to the English already known. When we teach grammar, we should pay attention to the meaning, use, any differences between the written and spoken form and the forms and patterns. When we teach language functions it's I'll require a lot of focus on activation phase.This unit tells us about past tenses: Past Simple, Past Continuous, Past Perfect and Past Perfect Continuous.There are some similarities with present tenses in usage. But only working with past tenses, regular and irregular verbs appear, which you should know before using past tenses. Regular forms have a s simple firm to build, just add fed, the other story is with irregular verbs, you should learn their forms.
