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.

 

It was almost unbearable to watch the first lesson because of the teacher's incompetent behavior. I was bored, embarrassed for him, and felt bad for the students being forced to sit in on that lesson. I was relieved to finish that video and move on to the second lesson, which was much more comprehensible, engaging, positive, and overall, effective. The second lesson was a good example of how I would like to teach my future students.I found this unit very interesting as it brought all the previous units on tenses together. The modal auxiliary verbs are very interesting and how they need to be used depending on the certainty, need, request, permission etc. The passive voice vs. the active voice was also interesting with the tenses changing as you change from active to passive. I found the phrasal verbs a bit difficult in the test but I now understand how to use it.
