“I chose the 120 Hour TEFL certificate for its accreditation source in order to increase my chances of teaching English online. I'm over half way through the 5 module course. I found value in the Grammar and Methodology modules and would like to see TEFL create post-certificate content to help graduates with their teaching endeavors (a ready made teaching kit per-se to get you started and to come back and reference). Modules 3 & 4 (Video and Teaching Large Classes) could have been omitted and my learning would not have been affected. Module 5 is the only one remaining that I have not yet accomplished.”

“So far I’m only in the grammar section and I like the layout but the website has annoying glitches of kicking you out back to the dashboard page while you’re clicking through modules”

“I found that one of the actors used in most of the informational videos to be very patronising and quite unlikeable. However the teachers who did the classroom videos were all great and I enjoyed watching them teach. The female teacher who did the spanish class was amazing, I really liked her content. More genuine tutor feedback would be great, I feel a lot of the time the feedback given was as if it was copied and pasted. Having decent good feedback is just as important as the bad constructive feedback. Overall it was an ok course, the videos that were less than 20 seconds long are totally pointless. However the content itself wasn't too bad.”

“The course is good but it could be improved: I didn't like the multiple choice assessment method used mostly througout the majority of the course (we know that multiple choice can be full of either silly, obvious or ambiguous statements most of the time!). I preferred the written assignments instead as there were truly challenging rather than trying your luck in multiple choice unlimitedly. The videos showing how lessons are delivered ( video demonstrations) were the most helpful. However, the demonstration for teaching young learners was poor and, unconfortable to watch and the ones for teaching large groups and Business non-existent: you are just told 'how it should be done' for the latter. Also, the audio could be improved and more camera angles included, and a view or file attached with the handouts used in the video demonstration would be desirable. The course does give you an overview of how to deliver a lesson as well as some techniques and insight into the tricks of the trade. The grammar course focuses primarily on earlier levels (the tenses). Get a good grammar book or two! I couldn't find a clear indication of what content goes for each level (syllabus) that was clealy stated on a handout or chart. I believe this is essential if we are to become tefl tutors!! Neverteless it was clarified upon request during teaching practice through zoom :) Alex, the tutor, was very good, encouraging, and helpful ( perhaps, too forgiving. Sometimes..). On the video demonstrations of principles ofntraching and grammar, I recall particularly that Christine was my favourite: very clear in the delivery and I telt I could learn lots from.her body language ans eliciting methods. Sorry Tefl.org i may sound too negative, but i believe on giving real feedback and constructive criticism rather than populating your list with 5-star -this- course is-awsome' reviews... The course.serves the purpose. It depends on how goor a student you are: passing the course I believe doesn't mean much( it is just the start. As in everyting in life, you would only truly learn by starting working, gaining experience and learning from your mistakes (hopefully).”

“I was doing well until the assignments in units 2 and unit 6. I have submitted then twice and the latest feedback was once again negative. And I was warned if I fail again, I will have to restart the course. I think the student should be able to speak with a teacher online when there is an issue instead of sending emails. Also, to avoid failing and restarting a course, it would be good to have an example to follow. The instructions are not clear!!”

“Hello there Alan, it's nice to make contact. I am an older student (48) and I am taking the course because I lived in Spain for five years but had to return to the UK about fourteen years ago after my marriage collapsed, and i know that teaching overseas would be a reasonable and with any luck sustainable way for me to return to the continent. I have genuinely always wanted to teach overseas and i intend to return in order to teach English as a foreign language some time into next year, lockdown restrictions dependant, of course. I am hoping for a placement in Valencia as i have a deeply soft spot for the city plus it is considered to be Spain's city of science, art and education. I have not been in the 'classroom' environment now for over 30 years and as such i initially found adaption more difficult than i had anticipated, however I am more settled into the course's methodology and style as of late. It's still early days for my study. Unfortunately i have also had a bereavement recently in that i lost my partner of seven years a couple of weeks ago and i am somewhat distracted from the daily course study for the moment. I am currently devastated. Again, thank you for your contact. I look forward to your response. Mark (Van)”

“I felt that paying the extra for the in classroom lessons was not helpful, its exactly the same as the stuff you do in methodology so I had already passed the module and had to redo the tasks. Also a whole day of watching people presenting isnt good value for money”

“Hey Alan, I haven't done much so far (I am in the middle of grammar module), but it is not as challenging as I thought it would be. Some exercises are very easy and I don't feel like I have learnt a lot of new things. The exercise where you have to choose between "was" and "were" according to subject should be for students not for the feature teachers... And I am pretty sure every person who wants to be an English teacher can distinguish between present and past tenses so I really do not understand what is the point of this kind of exercises. I hope it's going to get better in the next modules.”

“There were a lot of misspellings on your courses. It would be a good idea to go over your courses one by one to make sure that all words are spelled correctly. It would surely give a more professional vibe(:”

“Online English teaching practicum course: a good experience overall, I'd be more careful to read the descriptions of the course in the future though (I was expecting a more advanced course), we had a nice tutor, our goals were realistic and the course very practical. We got relevant feedback during the course, but since it was only face to face the feedback was all positive, I was a bit disappointed not to have feedback on areas to work on I'm afraid. But again, the rest was worth the time and the money, just be sure to read the description!”

“There’s a lot of information to take in, and if you don’t take notes it’s far too hard to remember everything that is being “thrown” at you. The videos are far too staged (the explanation ones), and honestly I feel like I’m being taught GCSE English again. The classroom videos are far more interesting to watch because they are teaching the student how to teach English, the other ones feel as if I am sitting in an English classroom all over again.”

“The explanations and quizzes are helpful and aid the learning of the content. I find that the videos of the examples of teaching are poor and I wouldn’t use these teaching methods with students.”

“I found the courses very easy to navigate. One thing I found extremely difficult was communication with the tutor. I found it extremely difficult when I was confused with a question and couldn’t find anything relatable on the forum. Communication is key and I really think you need to work on this between student and tutor. I became very upset and frustrated especially when I was nearing the end of my 7 day add on and thought I may run out of time and need to buy more due to the tutor not being clear.”

“It is a very informative course. However, four weeks is not enough, especially if you don't want to extend the course. Furthermore, by the time I received the recommended grammar books for the handbook, I was three weeks into the course.”

“I am still in the grammar course which can naturally get a bit boring as i have to go through the whole basic stuff which i might already know. Other than that I do have some teaching experience. But I am still motivated to complete the course and get certified.”

“Although I do enjoy the course and feel it performs as hoped, it has the very annoying problem of constantly going back to the course overview screen when I click to the next page. This tends to be rather disruptive to the flow of using the site and the learning experience in general. I'd also suggest putting a little more emphasis on 'the schwa sound' perhaps. There was next to no explanation given on this. Not a real big problem as I simply googled it of course.”

“The program is very outdated or simply poor quality in video. Maybe it has to do that my primary job is in Film but it really turns me away from watching any videos. It seems like it was recorded in 2002. I also think there are unnecessary amount of modules. One module might just be a 30 second video saying what we will be discussing. That can be one sentence in the larger portion.”

“Some quiz questions in Grammar seem unnecessary. Too simple, repetitive, and perfunctory. I mean, for example, practicing present continuous form is necessary for actual ESL beginner students but not for TEFL students. What's crucial is when to use the form as opposed to other tenses, right? I suggest that you review the quiz questions, cut them off or replace them with more meaningful exercises. Thank you.”
