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.

 

All the students are different yet have similarities in some areas. Teaching a new language needs to take into account the native language of the student and many other factors that could help with the basics but without neglecting student to student communication within common fields of interest. Teaching techniques may also vary on the global scheme, such as how is the whole class structure.I feel the unit is severely lacking in relative detail to fully explain or exemplify how best to teach new language structures. The lack of a videos for this unit also adds to the daunting task of taking the test without proper information or guidance. There is possibly more room to improve upon this unit as this is a major part of teaching English as a second language to learners of all ages.
