The modals part was especially useful, because it gave a sum up of all the most important uses and structures of those verbs. It had helped me a lot to remember the basics (because, with so many different uses, it can be confusing). Nevertheless, as an English teacher and former student I have seen how much of a struggle...  [Read more]

However, course books can also be out-of-date or can be relied on too much by the teacher. It is important to weigh carefully the use of...  [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: This unit was an eye opener. Modal auxiliary verbs are really essential to communication. From asking permission to expressing obligations, these little words add so many of the niceties that make communication pleasant and move people to action. I have been using phrasal verbs all my life in the form of 1940s slang without knowing it. Identifying subjects and objects of verbs in sentences is still a little tricky, but I'm getting better at it now. I also realized that non-defining relative...  [Read more]

In the first one, the students were confused and even intimidated by the teacher because he was always saying that the topic was too easy and assuming everyone knew what he was talking about, so the students were afraid of participating. Also the teacher never engaged with the students, so...  [Read more]

As an english as first language learner, it was not difficult to find age and aptitude appropriate lists for me. Later, I stopped needing vocabulary lists as by that time I was reading so much that I picked up words naturally and learnt their meaning in context. Thus, I never had a need for extra vocabulary lists. This was brought to mind because I realise that it would be difficult to select vocabulary lists for adults. The...  [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: I enjoyed this lesson. I believe lesson plans are very important. If you are the only teacher then I can see how it would be easy to disregard the need for a lesson plan, but that has the high risk of allowing yourself to become complacent. In my opinion, if someone falls into complacent teaching either they've given up the true essence of teaching. And then need to consider if they are over worked or if teaching is even for them. If you expect a substitution for whatever reason a...  [Read more]

TESOL certification courses have traditionally been offered either as 4-week, classroom based courses or as 100% online or distance learning.
