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 especially helpful in the resources it provides to teachers. There are many different sites to explore and aid the teacher in preparing material. Especially for beginner teachers, this will be very helpful and will help customize the teacher's needs according to the student's needs. Personally, I found the resources much more helpful than the use of teaching tools, although this was helpful as well.Another short unit, Unit 15 gives an overview of various tests that the teacher can utilize to evaluate ability and monitor progress in students. Some teachers, like those teaching at private academies and learning centers, will probably have to familiarize themselves with the various external exams for the country they are teaching in. The unit finishes with a list of these tests and a brief description of each.
