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 on modals, phrasal verbs and passive voice took much more time for me to ponder than other units. The reason may have been that precise examples were insufficient, or that these are not often considered in early elementary education, therefore not regularly given to analysis. The types of phrasal verbs -- intransitive, transitive separable, transitive inseparable -- gave the most cause for uncertainty.The unit was based on modals, phrasal verbs, and voice. The unit begins by listing and describing the different modal verbs, which communicate obligation, possibility, permission, ability and advice. Next, the unit mentions the three basic types of phrasal verbs: intransitive, transitive separable, and transitive inseparable. Furthermore, the unit explains the difference between active voices and passive voices.
