“The course has been carefully developed, with each section extensively organized. One of its major benefits lies in the ability for students to learn at their own pace. The program's overall design encourages confidence and engagement. Feedback from instructors serves as both a source of encouragement and a guide for improvement. To sum up, TEFL.org offers a student-oriented program that prepares educators with the necessary skills and confidence to enter the classroom with a clear sense of direction.”

“Insightful, the videos were engaging and detailed each aspect of the course very clearly. Maybe having a more interactive full lesson video would be beneficial to check for understanding during the video i.e. the teacher shows the presentation stage and half way through the video a question pops up with a question related to the presentation stage and allows you to move on with the video.”

“For me, at this time, the jury is still deliberating... as we might say. I have not received a review of the last (fifth course) of the 120-hour training. I submitted my final exam one day before the course expiration date (On April 17/expiration on April 18). Thus, I do not know if I have passed the final course, today being 4/30/25. I found the course to be sufficiently rigorous. As a native English speaker with with a critical ear for abused uses of English, I found the level of training to be challenging. The tutors held the line on the teaching/training standards, requiring me to 'try it again'. Throughout the course, the most difficult concept for me was getting a solid understanding of 'discover the meaning'. I can't yet say if it was the way this idea was coached or if I simply did not spend enough time working to grasp the idea. I enjoyed taking the ten-item tests with the option to repeat the test for better scores. It served as motivation for me to review my understanding and knowledge of the readings. My least favorite encounters were the video exchanges. The presentations in the videos were fast moving and I became critical of the 'speed-talking' by the video instructors. (I kept thinking how is this effective communication for English learners; trying to absorb vocabulary and meaning at such a pace.) I started reading the dialogue scripts for a clearer understanding of the lessons. As a result of taking this training I feel prepared to develop lesson plans that benefit English-learners and provide them with the confidence to use the language.”

“The online course was easy to follow and assignments were relevant. Sometimes, the guidance wasn't clear that lesson plans had to sue the exact TEFL method in order to pass. Tutor was quick to mark and give feedback though so never an issue.”

“The TEFL Org provide a good breadth of information across what appears to be the main topics of which an ESOL teacher would be expected to have knowledge and be able to teach. At the end of the 120 hours I felt like I had learned a lot but was a bit unsure if I had enough to teach. Completing the 20 hour face 2 face (on line) weekend really brought it all together for me. The only down side would be the support I received from my tutor. He didn’t seem to have any interest in marking my assignments and the comments felt like irrelevant cut and paste jobs from having marked previous students. The online tutor in direct contrast was incredible with a huge amount of energy, amazing subject knowledge and very useful feedback. (Thank you Elizabeth!) Not sure what the Delivery questions were about- this was all on line.”

“The content is excellent and very comprehensive. The quizzes enhance the learning through gap fillers, MCQ, true or false, and assignments incrementally help the learner to use and implement theory into practice through the designing of lesson plans. It provides a hands-on opportunity to design them. However, at times there are multiple issues in the videos related to audio. Moreover, subtitles combined with sub-headings such as "lead-in," "Presentation," etc as applicable at transitions in the video would help the learner to follow the videos of classroom lessons without having to shift from video to transcript. Also, quite a few times, I observed there were issues with the website when the quizzes were being answered: the answers were not updated especially during second attempt onwards. In addition, the drop down answers to fill gaps in a sentence were far too small to see and select. This is a major issue when answering such quizzes. As far as editing and submitting assignments is concerned, there could be a provision to include illustrations such as the timelines. If possible, there could be a warning when the text exceeds the word count beyond the allowed 10% excess word limit. In fact, there was no warning regarding the minimum word count required for assignments, i.e. permissible minimum word count is only 10% less than the maximum word count: if the maximum word count is 600, a minimum required is 540 words and excess words is 660 words which is 10% more or less than the declared "maximum" word count. This ambiguity or unspoken role (minimum word count for passing) could create unnecessary attempts. Nevertheless, generally speaking, the instructions are clear and detailed. The tutor (Denise Hart) was very helpful with detailed instructions to improve the assignment. Sometimes, the error was on my side due to a long and comprehensive requirement for passing the assignment. Regardless, the tutor was very patient to point out areas needed to improve the written assignment. However, the issue regarding a minimum word count requirement was only clarified on specific inquiry. My penultimate observation is regarding student data or information available with the tutors. They didn't seem to have or didn't check the records for the name of the learner. Denise definitely had checked the data for the recorded name, in spite of the glitch. The virtual classroom tutor seems to have taken the name from the zoom window rather than the official data that may have been available to her. Last but not the least, as I have mentioned in another place through email, the profile updation is also a problem especially when the name is updated. It took all the updated info instead of only retaining the last update. Hence, there is evidently a glitch in the software. I am reporting all of the above based only on my own experience.

“I found the content challenging and a great refresher for terms and concepts I had forgotten about. However, this course did not do a great job teaching how to write a lesson plan. What would have been more effective is to show the lesson plan in conjunction with the video. I also wish there was more diversity with the skill level of the videos. It was the same group for most of the videos, whom I thought had a pretty good grasp on English. But again, telling us what level those groups were would have been helpful.”
