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.

 

From this unit I've learned different ways of seating and the effects on the instructions and the attention of the students. I also read about the advantages and disadvantages of working in pairs, groups or with a whole group. You should seek for a effective division in teacher speaking time and student speaking time. Furthermore, there were tips about how to maintain discipline in the classroom.As with previous units involving the different tenses and their uses I found myself becoming confused as the Unit test progressed. Answers that I felt confident about I then went back over and double and triple checked. I think that as with the other units on tenses a great deal of preparation and practical materials would help with the delivery of this lesson when I eventually begin to teach it.
