Here Below you can check out the feedback (for one of our units) of one of the 16.000 students that last year took an online course with ITTT!
This unit discussed the various methodologies involved in TEFL teaching: grammatical-translation, audio-linguistic, presentation/production/practice, lexical, as well as several other more modern methods. In this discussion we also learned about the ESA planning method (Engage, Study, Activate) which serves as a guide of what type of instruction, activities, and correction to incorporate at different points in the lesson.
Particularly interesting to me was developing that mental framework of the ESA method of planning, and the different variations within it (straight arrow, patchwork, and boomerang). The different activities given will also serve as a good resource for me, I believe. However, some of the activities listed under "Study" didn't seem appropriate for the section. I don't see how they serve as a teaching tool (ex. Hangman), and feel like they belong in the Engage section.
