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 this unit I learned all about the modal auxiliary verbs, including what they are, when to use each of them, and the structure of them in the different tenses. I was also given some ideas of how to teach modal auxiliary verbs to students. This unit also went over the use of the passive voice and how to change a sentence from an active one into a passive one. Relative clauses and phrasal verbs were also reviewed.In this unit I learned about various aspects of English grammar that I will likely encounter while teaching. The text introduced and gave examples of a variety common grammar points such as nouns, articles, gerunds, adjectives, pronouns, adverbs ext. Achieving a solid understanding of such grammar points will not only allow me to teach English well, but it will enable me to better address the needs of my students.
