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 unit covered an aspect of teaching English I hadn’t given that much thought to. This will probably be one of the hardest aspects to teach during lessons, although I do understand the importance of teaching articulation and pronunciation now having gone through the chapter. As recommended, I do think it would be a good idea to demonstrate and practice things like stress, intonation etc. with the students.This unit discussed conditional tenses and reported speech. I was unaware there were so many conditional tenses and this unit displayed them very clearly. I feel much more comfortable with conditional tenses now. However, I felt that the section about reported speech was a bit rushed and confusing. I felt that this section over-complicated the subject and could have presented the information in a more concise way.
