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.

 

Now i know how to select which words to teach.we can use such criteria: appropriacy to the students, appropriacy to the task, frequency and coverage, teachability. Students need to know such things about a vocabulary item: Meaning, usage, word grammar, spelling, pronunciation. While inroducing grammatical structures, students need to know the meaning, usage, form and patterns, spoken and written forms.I learned a lot about how to create a lesson plan and what should be included into it. It shouldn't be a ridged plan but generally a document that shows how the day of lessons is supposed to go. Having a lesson plan is also a useful tool in showing exactly what the students have covered. Unit 5 will continue to be a resource for me to go back to when I need reminder on how to make my own lesson plan.
