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.

 

i learned the importance of preparing and keeping a record of all my lesson plans throughout the process of learning. This will create concrete records of information I can easily access and provide a beginning and end point on a subject matter. Planning will also help me keep organized. It will also help me focus on what I need to accomplish and I will be able to help the students learn much better in the future.This unit talks about the teaching of productive skills (speaking and writing). For speaking, it's important to work both on accuracy (production of proper language) and fluency (experimentation and creation of language). For writing, it's important to focus on handwriting, spelling, punctuation and creative writing. It's also important to organize some games, so students have more fun and interact more between them.
