Thu, 13 Dec 2018 Linda Dunsmore Alumni Experiences The best thing I've learned from my TEFL course from ITTT I've been teaching English to children for about one year at a small language center.

Tue, 23 Apr 2019 Linda Dunsmore Alumni Experiences What is the best thing I have learned from my TEFL/TESOL course The best thing I have learned from my TEFL course is the ESA method. I discovered this method in Lesson 2 of our course which, for me, is one of the best and useful lessons in the whole course. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Horacio A. In my previous experience, I had learned most of the methodologies explained in Lesson 2, but I had never had the chance to know about this method before. ESA stands for Engage-Study-Activate, the three stages or phases of this method. This method was introduced in 1998 by Jeremy Harmer.
