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 think this unit was a great refresher on how to build rapport with students. It really is true that you can't make a first impression twice, and the activities and ice-breakers listed are great for a new teacher to use with an existing class of students. Although many teachers approach their classes differently, the variety of suggestions for group and pair work definitely come in handy for even the most seasoned of teachers!Evaluation is important. Students and teachers alike need testing. Placement test are important to put a student in the appropriate class while progress tests show how much the students have retained throughout their lessons. Then there are practice tests to get the students ready for the big one which may lead them to their final goal. Although as a student tests were annoying and stressful, there is no doubt they are helpful.
