First of all, as a native english speaker, I have learned that I needed a big review for most of the english parts, such as tenses. I do not recall ever learning the word ‘participle' and have asked some former classmates, and they agreed with me. I feel there is a lot more that needs to be learned but this course has given me a taste of what teaching esl will be like. The units on teaching were everything I learned back in the day while working on my bachelor's degree, and the lesson planning was very tedious in this course. I've never had to put such detail into lesson plans as I did for this course, even after teaching for two years in an American school in the U.A.E. Although I must say it is a very good course for anyone who has never taught before as it covers a variety of topics. This course has also opened my eyes to the varying needs of students who are learning esl. I will soon begin a new teaching post where I will be doing corporate training with esl adult students. I feel somewhat nervous because there will definitely be a huge learning curve for me, but this course has given me the basics. I can see myself reviewing all the units as I begin my esl position to further solidify this learning to ensure it is second nature for me.
