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 section went over the basics of what makes a good teacher and the roles the teacher plays in class, what makes a good student as well as the differences between students of different ages and the issues a student might have in class, and what the usual frameworks of student English levels are. I felt this unit provided me some good information regarding terminology for in class roles a teacher might play.This was easily the most difficult lesson thus far. The relative clauses and passive voice segments were quite confusing. This exam made me realize that I should return to my studies and further deepen my understanding of this content. I think the chart of modal verbs at the beginning of the unit will be very useful in the future. The phrasal verbs were also difficult to distinguish, so I plan to review those.
