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.

 

The purpose of unit three was to explore different theories, methods, and techniques teachers could use to their advantage in the classroom. Among the methods, I found task-based learning, communicative language teaching, and the Lexical approach to be the most interesting. ESA (engage, study, activate) was then explained, and dozens of activities were provided for each stage of the lesson.In this unit I learned the methodologies in which to engage ESL students. I see that the presentation, practice and production stages are played out through the \"patchwork\" ESA lesson. And there are different patchwork lesson plans to use to engage students. It really just depends on the students level of understanding, which I have learned, must be gauged in the beginning of each lesson.
