classrooms.

In order to provide stability for our students and for our teachers, we ask all teachers to make a minimum commitment of one school year.

Shared living accommodation is provided as are meals. Volunteers are responsible for their own transportation costs to and from Honduras. Please note that we are able to provide advice about low-cost flights and health insurance.

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 illustrates the importance of selecting the right teaching tools. Course books are an essential tool for the novice teacher but should be used as a guideline not a total solution. Depending on the level of the students language the course book and other teaching materials my be supplemented, omitted, adapted or replaced. A balanced mix of skills training is one of the attributes to look for in a good course book.In this unit module we learned about effective teaching techniques, specifically in regards to how students learn. This includes what are known as 'receptive' skills, which are reading and listening. The module goes into details about the different styles of reading and how you intake information. I find the use of the ESA examples within the module quite helpful, so as to see how the material fits into a teachable moment.
