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 used two videos to demonstrate both good and poor teaching techniques. In the first video the teacher did not introduce himself and did not make use of any Engage phase. He just launched into trying to elicit language from the students for his study phase without explaining what they were about to study. If students did not seem to understand a question, he just repeated his question over and over again. He often used a loud impatient voice. His activate activity was poorly explained, (or rather, not at all.) Watching the teacher in the first video was painful. In the second video, the teacher introduced himself, had all the students introduce themselves and repeated their names, demonstrated the kind of language he was trying to elicit before he tried to elicit it, got students to interact with each other, monitored their individual work actively, and introduced the activity for the Activate phase well enough that the students understood what to do and were highly engaged and interactive.
