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.

 

This unit made me think more deeply about how I could adapt common games into teaching tools for my classroom. The section on Frameworking was also very useful for demonstrating to students how different tenses are used in conjunction, perhaps during a company presentation. Finally, the three sample lesson plans were great demonstrations on how to put all of this knowledge into use.A quite lengthy unit that I found very interesting as it covered areas of teaching and learning that are of particular interest to me, especially the teaching methods and the philosophy behind them. It also offered further study to strengthen understanding of teaching groups and individuals and the advantages and disadvantages associated with the two as different methods are employed.
