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 is a particularly difficult section with regards to type 1 intransitive; type 2 transitive separable; and type 3 transitive inseparable verbs!!!!! I believe teaching this to non-native speakers using that language of instruction would be challenging. Usages of Modal Auxiliary Verbs are as follows: ability, advice, deduction, obligation, offer, permission, possibility, prediction, prohibition, promise, and request.This unit has made me reflect upon the importance of the relationship between teacher and student. For example, students will notice when the teacher is not interested or investing enough time or energy into the lessons. Teachers must also have a good balance between participating and observing or being there to answer questions. I have learnt that as a teacher, I must be culturally aware and respectful of all students.
