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 divided young learners into two groups ages 5-9 and 9-13. It touched on different methodologies for these two groups for teaching and learning. Types of classroom desk arrangements and teaching stages were given pros and cons based on what the teacher's focus was for the lesson. And finally the skills young learners develop was split into Listening, speaking, reading and writing in a comprehensive table.In this Unit we learned about Nouns (common, compound, poper, abstract, and collective), Plurals, Countable and Uncountable nouns, Adjectives (comparatives and superlatives), as well as Articles (definite, indefinite and zero articles), Verbs (transitive, intransitive and infinitives) Adverbs, Gerunds and Pronouns (personal, possessive, reflexive, and relative). We also learned about Prepositions and Conjunctions.
