In this video Linda explains the differences between "assure", "insure" and "ensure". They not only sound similar, but those three words also make an outcome sure but they are in no way interchangeable. "Assure" is used to speak out a promise or say something with confidence, for example "I assure you that he is a great lawyer". "Ensure" is used to make something certain, such as here: "Please ensure that you will be home at five o'clock today"."Insure" means to protect an object against risk by buying an insurance policy from an insurance company, like here: "I insure my television because it was expensive". Once you have realized the three different meanings and usages, there is no way you'll confuse them again.

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 convenient, highly structured design means that you can quickly get to grips with each section before moving onto the next.

in order to structure all of the things i have learnt leading up to this section. It is important for me to use the skills obtained and put it into a practice lesson and basic structure. The use from unit 1 coming into unit 9 is very clear. Its clear how these frameworks, tenses and lesson plans all work together to create a lesson that is informative, engaging and encouraging.This is a useful unit for starting out teaching a class. I liked learning about some of the pitfalls of first day classes and what are some helpful activities. I agree that establishing a rapport with the students first is one of the most important things. The students are going to be less inclined to listen in future lessons if they don't feel that connection with the teacher.
