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.

 

Some parts of the test are a little murky at first (Q3, for example - \"prior to commencing\" could mean after entering the course but before being taught, meaning both \"Placement\" and \"Diagnostic\" could be used. The meaning is clarified by being compared to Q9). In this module, I have mostly learned the codification of test types (which I already had an internal system for sorting) and a few acronyms for set external exams.This unit gave me a good introduction to the past tenses. As I mentioned during the section on present tenses being a native speaker has prevented me from learning these tenses in an academic sense. I learned how to speak, read, and write English without learning it from a textbook and therefore never had these tenses spelled out for me. This has been a good experience and has taught me how complex the English language really is.
