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.

 

Since I am a native English speaker, it is often difficult for me to foresee areas that might prove difficult for my students. This section has helped me to understand ways to address the challenges my students have had with reading and listening in English. I especially benefited from the section on ways to approach difficulty. I also enjoyed the example lesson on receptive skills.The use of video lessons to show the difference between the dos and don'ts is effective. It clearly shows the level of engagement and interest of the students mimics the attitude of the teacher. I have also noted an important point for myself in regards to the speed of speaking. I tend to speak fast without knowing and this might cause confusion and intimidation amongst my students.
