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 form of the various past tenses can be explained fairly easily, as they are generally the same for all verbs (except the past simple irregular verbs which are the typical English nightmare to learn) The usage becomes more difficult to explain, especially to lower level learners as the English required to explain usage is somewhat complicated in itself. As usual, repeated use, with corrections and explanations, is the key.This unit provided a good review of the parts of speech that make up proper sentences. In particular, I had forgotten the five main types of nouns (common, proper, compound, abstract and collective). Also, the actual use of gerunds--while I did it correctly--had escaped me over the years. For example, I had forgotten that a gerund is simply the \"ing\" form of a verb (e.g., \"Studying proper sentence structure is important.\")
