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.

 

Question 8 was very broad, A student may be using their native language for a variety of reasons. It was a very open ended question, and honestly, any of the answers could have been correct based on different classrooms, students or situations. This unit did help me to go through and figure out what warmers I could use, and what I should avoid doing in certain classroom situations.This unit is about course books and materials. It discusses how teachers can utilize the course materials in different ways and that teachers should not just rely on the book given to them. The students will need different types of lessons and the teacher should be flexible. It is good to adapt the lessons and include other material in the lesson to make it relevant and interesting.
