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 covered conditionals and reported speech. I would think that these subjects present a great challenge to English teachers because the differences between the conditionals and the changes that have to be made when reporting speech must seem so subtle to a non-native speaker. However, it is truly important to master these subjects in order to have real-life conversations in the language you are learning.Unit 17 Equipment and Teaching Aids covered the following teaching equipment: White/Black board, Interactive WhiteBoard, Overhead Projector, Visual Aids, Worksheets and Work Cards, Cassette Recorder, CD Player, Videos and DVDs, Video Camera, Dictionaries, Course Books, Resource Books, PhotoCopier, Computers, and Online Resources. I learned the basic principles for board work, especially interactive whiteboards.
