Chris Brandon

  In this TESOL review, Chris from France shows us the classroom he teaches in and talks about his experience on ITTT’s 120-hour TESOL course. Chris found that the course helped to structure his lesson plans and improved his teaching skills. He recommends the course to anyone considering teaching English as a second language. 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.

After completing these tasks, and creating lesson plans, I have a better understanding of what it is like to be a teacher (of any subject), and now have a newfound respect for them. As a student, I believe that we take our lessons for granted and do not understand all the hard work that goes into each lesson plan. I now know how to create a ESA lesson plan from scratch, which at first I found to be overwhelming....  [Read more]

As an American living in Germany and involved in the export business, I have always been the “go to guy” for all matters related to english. This is mostly related to work correspondence, customer requests, helping friends etc…. I went into this course thinking that it would be a breeze and it would come easy for me. I couldn't have been more wrong! There were some lessons that were easier than others, and some that were downright frustrating. I have...  [Read more]

You could also be interested in: This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned: said: The article I have chosen for my independent research would be motivation in classroom. I believe motivation is a crucial factor in learning a language as I'm sure most teachers would agree with me. The main reason I'm coming to this point of view is that most of our students have low motivation to learn english, while most of them have a vague sense that whether "english will be useful for my future" or not, they don't have a clear idea of what that means, nor is that a very strong motivator. The word...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas I think vocabulary is something that should be taught at the very beginning of the course. When you're starting with a brand new language, the hardest part of learning a foreign language from scratch is vocabulary building. This is because when one starts a new language, they typically don't know where to start. For example, should they learn how to say "Hi, how are you?" first, or should they learn some of the more substantial, yet basic vocabulary terms, such as "I give" "I eat" etc? At what point should you introduce grammar? This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Brandon S. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. I have studied 3 languages to an advanced proficiency: Chinese,...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences When I started this course, I was seeking a TEFL certificate as well as some tips for being a teacher. What I learned along the way is that to be a good teacher, your focus must be on your students. Of course, a teacher needs to have a certain set of skills to be able to teach, however, those skills in themselves will never make you a good teacher. This course taught me that a teacher needs to be less focused on themselves and more focused on the needs of their students. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Brandon B. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. From their very first lesson, a teacher needs to be establishing rapport with their students.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas An ESL teacher will most likely teach a class with young learners and adults at some point in their careers. Teaching young learners and adults has its own set of challenges. Some of these challenges will be the learning experience that each possesses, the different ways of learning and how this affects the lesson, and the motivation of the student and how it affects behavior. Whether it is young learners for adults, the rewards can be satisfying. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Chris V. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. The learning experience will play a big role when teaching students.

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences My experience in teaching English to young learners is based in Japan. At the start of my time teaching, my student group consisted of two children of the same family. The siblings are a boy, age five, and a girl, age three, who participate equally in the English conversation sessions. Three main factors of this situation present difficult walls, preventing forward progress. Those three factors are distracting objects, counter-productive classroom philosophies, and personality conflicts. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Brandon F. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. First, the English conversation takes place in the children's home and playroom which is full of toys....  [Read more]
