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 helped me a lot and I downloaded it already. this has many example that are helpful that can make you see the difference between one and another present tense. I strongly believe that this unit will serve me in the future and the games that included in this unit are as well very understandable and easy for me and it would easy for other children as well I strongly believe that.It was the last grammar unit in this course, but definitely not the least as it covers up a great part of the English language with all its possible difficulties. It is important to explain everything clearly for the students as the whole their speech could change its meaning only because of the wrong use of a modal or phrasal verb or the missing 'to be' verb in a passive voice sentence.
