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.

 

Before completing the unit I did not realise there were such a large number of tests (internal and external) that students could undertake. More specifically, there are a larger number of Cambridge exams than I thought. This is a good guide on how and why to test students along different stages of their language learning journey. The descriptions of when to use each exam are important and will be taken with me into the classroom.Following the previous unit I have now learnt about the two remaining language skills: Writing and speaking, which are equally important. This unit also brings back some of the games that were mentioned before and how they can be used within the class. Plus I've been reminded that games are fun for everyone, they can get the class really involved and be entertaining while educational and shouldn't be used just once in a full moon.
