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.

 

Now comes the hard part. Although the information is quite useful and very comprehensible, when it comes to the testing, I already see which points from previous units I should restudy and understand better. This unit is a threshold between units 1 to 8 and units after 9, as the process of studying becomes more creative and just familiarizing yourself with the material is, obviously, not enough. Thank you very much for this lessonI realise that there are different labels for the same type of words. For example the classification of nouns I learned in the past a little different. I'm glad for the explication about the use of infinitive and gerund as well as an easy to understand-explication about transitive/intransitive verbs. There I wasn't sure so far. The ing-form still puzzles me sometimes. For example in Task 2 of the lesson \"I usually go swimming...\
