TEFL Reviews

I will be honest, when I first started this course I thought it would be easy, just a revision of adjectives, nouns etc...

Through this course I have gained an appreciation for knowing the english language...

As an english native speaker, I thought there would not be much to gain from doing this course and because I always did well in english during my schooling years, I thought this would be easy...

This has been a great course for me and the format was perfect for my learning style...

WOW! After having been in management all of my professional life, which included being a law firm administrator and paralegal, I had totally forgotten about all the parts of speech of my language...

This course has meant more to me than I could ever explain without writing a book of at least 50,000 words! Each lesson was very well presented, and I have gained not only a new perspective about my native language, but also, a strong fundamental understanding of complexities I either took for granted, or never knew existed...

The main thing I feel I have gained from this course is the confidence to go ‘out there' and be a teacher...

In addition to the information I have learned about the tenses and various grammar (I had no idea how many tenses there were in english!) and usage, I learned a lot from this course...

My personal gains from completing this course include: • An understanding of the many different types, levels, and characteristics of english language learners and classes that I may come across • Knowledge about the various approaches and methods of teaching for english language learners • An understanding of the different aspects of language teaching, including vocabulary, grammar, and language functions • Familiarity with the ESA and other lesson plan formats • Knowledge and ideas related to teaching listening, reading, speaking, writing, and pronunciation • Information about possible teaching materials, including course books, resource materials, etc and ideas for creating materials • Information about various testing and placement materials and useful instructional equipment • Strategies for dealing with various types of students and teaching situations • A crash course on basic principles of english grammar, with special focus on parts of speech, verb tenses, clauses, and conditional verb phrases...

I have learnt a lot from this course, details I may not have noticed and appreciated with working in a classroom environment, for example I have been in a classroom as a student many a time and have not realised until doing this course the importance of where the teacher stands, the seating arrangements, the body language, the structure of certain lessons, the thought that goes into the lesson and the voice of the teacher to the class, how to get the class enthusiastic, it is all the detail and the work that the teacher puts into the class and some of it `behind the scenes` that students often do not realise like using equipment, and the student will just walk away thinking that lesson went well...
