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 taught me about the four past tense forms, the past simple, the past continuous, the past perfect, and the past perfect continuous. I also learned some ways to help teach each of these forms, such as using card games to teach irregular verb forms, making curriculum vitae's, use of diaries/journals, story telling/writing, and interview role-playing. Finally, I learned some common student errors.I learned in this unit what is the difference between accuracy and fluency activities. Accuracy activities to ensure accurate reproduction of language and fluency to allow the students to experiment and be creative with the language. I learned also the importance of the writing skills, explain to the students that there is some differences from speaking, like for example, the usage of contracted forms.
