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.

 

In this unit I learnt how teaching a new language, new vocabulary, new grammar and new functions. I understood that whatever the students’ level may be, it is more important that teachers must arrange their lesson in a way that students are exposed to the new language, they understand its meaning. The students need to understand how the new language is constructed and they learn to be able to practise and produce it.Unit 15:Evaluation and Testing This unit introduces the subject of evaluating and testing of students language skills. This unit is very informative and educative for the following reasons: It provides a comprehensive and variety of tests that can be used before, during and at the end of an English language course. This unit is also important because it gives adequate explanation on the General external examinations. .
