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.

 

Lesson planning is a very important tool in achieving a well-organized lesson. A lesson plan should bot be rigid but flexible to address any unforeseen occurences during the class, Most teachers need a guide in order to have a structured class. Making a lesson plan can also provide a teacher a reference on what has been discussed so far and whether or not the lesson objectives are achieved in every lesson.I learnt from this unit that it is vital to understand the meaning of language, how it is constructed and a learner must be able to practice and produce it. As quoted in the start of this unit, \"Grammar is seen as the tree trunk and branches of a language while vocabulary and its functions are the leaves that add beauty and variety\". Us as teachers need to introduce learners to language in a balanced way
