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 was about conditionals and reported speech. I've learned about reported speech, how to use it and how to transform direct speech into reported speech. I've also learned about conditionals. There are five main conditionals - Zero Conditional, First Conditional, Second Conditional, Third Conditional and Mixed Conditional. I'va also learned about the teaching ideas which can be used during lessons.I have learned how to behave in front of my students and especially how to build a satisfactory rapport with them. In fact, I have learned several things about being a good teacher in all ways as much as pass the content effectively. Teachers should be able to encourage their students to speak as much as they can and not be ashamed to make some commom mistakes that can, most of the times, intimidated them.
