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.

 

Unit four covered the four types of present tenses in the English language by going into details of their forms and what they are used for. The reading and video that supplemented provided examples of activities to use when teaching the different forms. This lesson also went over common errors made when students are learning the present tenses so that they could be addressed quickly.This reiterated the fact that the demeanor the teacher can really control and color the whole class. It is important to be flexible and work with the students to get them to engage and want to be involved in the class. After watching both videos, I saw which class I would want to be apart of. I would want to teach a class where I felt like the students were inquisitive and interested.
