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.

 

The teaching methods I learned from the previous lessons can also be applied in teaching Business English. The only difference though is that Business English is more specific than the general English and that you will mostly teach adult students. Their attitude and motivation will also be different. They way you give them instructions and feedback should be tailored to their position and line of business.I really liked the techniques included in this lesson. Identifying the different parts of the lesson was a little hard. I did enjoy looking at the sample lesson plans and using some of the work sheets to evaluate my own performance. I love the emphasis on continuous improvement. Each week in my regular classes I am constantly trying to find new ways to keep the kids engaged. I am really enjoying the ideas.
