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.

 

Unit 12 this is the second part of productive skills (speaking, writing, reading, listening). I had not considered the difficulty that writing could present compared to speaking, especially because reading is generally easier than listening. There are many rules for writing that will present difficulties. I like the ideas of games to help facilitate the learning of these skills, games get people involved, having fun, interested.Honestly, I didn't read the description of the first video before watching it and was quite shocked, as I thought it was going to be a good example of a live lesson. Once I clarified this, the first video was an outstanding example of negative actions and attitudes on the part of the teacher. Conversely, in the second video both the teacher and students looked liked they were learning so much more and having more fun while doing so.
