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 this unit I have gained greater insight into the fundamentals of teaching and understanding receptive skills, listening and reading, and the different elements of these receptive skills. By gaining this knowledge I have a better understanding of how to teach these skills, ensuring interest in selected texts, varied depending on students, whether a text should be authentic and when and how to apply these skills to a ESA class plan.From this unit I have learned key techniques to use to establish a good relationship with students. The teacher student relationship needs to be precise and flexible at the same time in order to maximize mutual respect and cultivate an open, relaxed learning environment. I also learned tips on how to maximize student talk time and how the teacher should position themselves and the student physically in a range of different scenarios.
