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 reviewed the various resources that are available to ESL teachers. I do believe that a lot of the resources listed either rely on outdated methods or are too expensive for most ESL classrooms. Cassette players surely are not used anymore. Despite this, the description of how each resource can be used is helpful and allowed me to consider how I can use modern technology to replaces some of these outdated methods.Both reading and listening are very important receptive skills. There is no right or wrong way to teach these skills. The most important things are to choose material that motivates students, to build interest before reading/ listening, to pre-teach complex vocabulary that is essential, to vary the type of material for different ability students and finally to integrate activate phase that naturally lead on from the text.
