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.

 

I have learned that there are multiple types of aids and tools to assist in teaching students who are learning ESL. With this multitude of resources, teachers should have every available advantage to ensure that the students grasp the language. With the different types of equipment and technology at our disposal in this day and age, ESL students can become immersed in the language and nuances of the English language.Young learners need plenty of repetition and revision but are usually extremely quick to learn. Learning should be made fun and children respond well to games, songs, role-plays and interactive activities.Teenagers need encouragement and to feel involved in their learning. It is important to find topics that they will find stimulating and to recognize their insecurities and how much they have to offer you as a teacher.
