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 was on modals, phrasal and passive voice. The first 2 modals and passive voice, were fun to learn and I could understand them. However, the section on phrasal verbs left me confused, I had to look it up on the internet to understand what the lesson is all about and I am still having some difficulty understanding (maybe it is because I am tired and overworked), however, I do plan on keep going there with a clearer mind.This unit was very similar to the Present Tense Unit, when studying or teaching these tenses it's important to understand the Form and Usages of each tense. Understanding how these sentences are formed helps to compare the types of tense to see the differences. Task sheets or worksheet in the Activate phase should maximise student talking time, allow students to use the language freely and keep the focus on the target language.
