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.

 

Ä° think that to have a lesson plan is a good way for myself and other people who are teaching, as it acts like a guide of what the students that Ä°m teaching need to learn and how it will be done during the class time. Before you plan your lesson, you will first need to have an idea what you would like the students to do by the time the lesson finishes. Before the lesson you can design appropriate learning activities .I am hoping that there will be less teachers like the teacher from the first video. I understand that teachers have their own way of dealing with the different stresses in life but students should never be the recipient of any mistreatment. I feel like teachers should focus more on how much the students learn and not just through tests and exams. These two videos show clearly the difference between good and bad eductation.
