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.

 

I thought that this unit was extremely helpful in that it has helped me to learn the importance of lesson planning and how to create and implement and effective and engaging class lesson. I believe this will serve me very well in the future when I plan ahead for my classes I now know the best way to make them and to make sure my students are getting the most out fo the time they spend with me.Chapter five briefly reviews the past tenses in English: past simple, past continuous, past perfect, past perfect continuous. Explanations on usage, structures, many examples and some teaching ideas have been covered. The unit also takes a look at the most common mistakes students make in past tenses. The use of questions, negatives and irregular verbs seem to be the most problematic for them.
