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.

 

In Unit 4 I learned the proper way to introduce and teach new vocabulary and grammatical structures. When teaching new vocabulary it is important to correctly and wisely chose the vocab based on its appropriate difficulty and the students current skill level. As well as included in Unit 4 was a brief example on how to teach new language functions. I also learned how to introduce grammatical structures through ESA.Lesson planning is important to provide the teacher with direction for their lesson. It is important that there is still flexibility in the lesson so that the lesson doesn’t become teacher centred. The three functions of the lesson plans are; an aid to planning, a working document and a record. Another important aspect in the monitoring of your lessons to identify your strengths and any areas of improvement.
