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 unit has taken me back to early high school. The unit has again taught me the differences between nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs and particles to name a few. As a native English speaker, I simply do not think about the breakdown of a sentence when either spoken or written in English. A teacher of English needs to be able to break a sentence down and explain the differences of each word to the class.I have learned that it is often difficult to teach English grammar for native English speakers because we grow up not thinking about the nuances of the language. When growing up, we (as English speakers) are not taught the difference between a verb vs. an intransitive verb, or what a preposition is. However, when teaching English to almost anyone (besides very young kids) it is important to have a handle on grammar.
