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.

 

In order to make every one of the lessons equally interesting and to draw attention of the students teacher can use different kinds of teaching aids, which are presented in the Unit 17. Some of them like cassette recorder or CD player are not so popular nowadays, but it was interesting to know how to use such aids as well. There is a list of online resourses which I find extremely useful for planning English lessonsWithin this unit, I have learned how the simplest parts of speech can be fleshed out to have the most absurd (legitimately absurd) nuances. Before i read this, the present tense was solely... the present tense. I understand now why second language English speakers tend to know more about academic English then Native English speakers. Native English speakers don't care to know such details. They just speak as needed.
