The unexpected problem I had with the TEFL was the way they conducted feedback. The modules are not connected with assignments, and I’m expected to do the work in assignments that’s uncorrelated with anything presented in the modules. Luckily I have a teaching and high level of educational background so I was able to handle these mishaps, but how would someone with no teaching background handle this?
The feedback I had been receiving from the tutor has been daunting at times. For example, I would write in my assignments ‘write down’ and teacher would ignore it and give me a feedback that I need to write my sentences down on the board.
Or I would write three example phrases, but I would receive a feedback that I need to write 10 examples of phrases even though no where in the assignment instructions was it even specified that I need to write 10 examples of phrases. It just seemed at times that they were trying to find ways to fail me but the TEFL would not teach nor instruct what they expect us to do. I was receiving lots of info unrelated to passing the assignments and getting the certificate.
TEFL specified only a handful of activity examples in Lead In’ and ‘Practice’ sections. Which is fine, but when I used those in my assignments those were somehow not good enough. If we are expected to come up with our own activities, practices and drills, please give us the appropriate guidelines and expectations to follow.
It appeared that the tutor had changed his feedback once I challenged him. He provided me with link that had no usefulness whatsoever.
In summary, please be more specific with what you want us to do, give us the modules that are actually relevant to the assignments we are expected to do, and if you want us to be creative please give us detailed guidelines for us to follow instead of coming up with excuses to fail us.
