“Overall the course was excellent and I learned a lot. It is a bit disconcerting to be asked to feed back as I haven’t finished all the courses I signed up for in the bundle, but have been issued with a certificate which includes some of the additional advanced courses that I have completed in addition to the main diploma. Hopefully when I finish the last two courses these will be added to the certificate and it will be reissued to show everything? I did ask for support after I failed the Telephone Teaching add-on course for the second time. The answer was confused and perverse. It is nothing personal about the advisor, although I did wonder if it was a real person or an AI answering because the answer did appear to include an AI hallucination (something which was illogical or factually incorrect that a thinking real person would not have written or said). Apologies to your support staff if they were just having a bad day. Telephone Teaching Course final question (17) Another teacher asks you for ideas for activities that can be used at each stage of a group PPP telephone class on the past simple tense. Which of the following is NOT a suitable activity? 1) For a lead-in get students to tell each other what they do on their holidays, get some feedback and write it on the interactive whiteboard. 2) For a presentation elicit the past forms of regular and irregular verbs and get students to write them in columns on the interactive whiteboard. 3) For a practice display a gap fill on screen - students have to complete the gaps with the past form of regular and irregular verbs. 4) For a production display a list of sentences that all have past simple errors. Students identify the errors and correct them. I wrote to support and asked for help … The question is confusing because it says that the activities have to be suitable AT EACH STAGE, which makes no sense because none of the activities can be used at each stage, we use different types of activities at each stage not the same types of activity at each stage. Is my neurodiversity getting in the way of my understanding? I added ... 1) This is suitable, assuming the teacher has an interactive whiteboard, there are two answers with an interactive whiteboard and they can’t both be NOT suitable, so this has to be suitable even though an interactive whiteboard is a physical thing not a virtual zoom / teams software thing. 2) This cannot be suitable because assuming there is an interactive whiteboard in the location where the teacher is, however unlikely that is, the students will not be able to write on it as they are not in the same room. This is therefore NOT suitable. 3) Students can look at the screen and verbally state what the past forms of the verbs are, so this is suitable, and therefore NOT NOT suitable. 4) This is probably the answer the test is looking for, because it describes structured practice in an activity that is supposed to be free production, so the question might be about a classroom PPP lesson and isn’t actually anything to do with the telephone teaching course. They answered in red … Yes A is suitable lead-in. B: This is not suitable as they cannot have access to this board. C: This activity relies on a visual component, i.e., displaying a gap fill on screen. In a telephone class, students cannot see anything. There's no screen, so they wouldn't be able to read the gaps or complete the task effectively. D: Making a list of sentences is not free practice so not production. So, this is NOT suitable and is the correct answer. This reply is just nonsense. According to support the last three are not suitable, but the question states only one is not suitable. They argue that A is suitable because it has the teacher writing on an interactive whiteboard, but that C is not because in a telephone class students can’t see anything including a whiteboard. According to the question it is a group class, not an individual one, so some form of software whiteboard screen is likely to be available given the context of the question. Further the support answer agrees that B is a NOT suitable answer, which was the answer I chose as NOT suitable. My answer should therefore not have been marked wrong as I correctly identified one of the NOT suitable answers. There are other occasional examples of irrational and incorrect wrong answers being required in other tests throughout the course. It also shows that the question writer here cut and pasted this question in from a classroom teaching course, because it belongs in a module about the specifics of PPP classroom lessons. It isn’t testing material covered in the Telephone teaching course so is quite unfair. It would have been clearer as a classroom course question if it had asked “Which activity is not suitable for that stage of a PPP lesson?” (not at each stage). However support clearly did not understand this any better than I because they also got hung up on whether there was an interactive whiteboard or not and somehow used that to justify their ‘correct answer’. Overall though, I thoroughly enjoyed taking the course, thank you.”

“Due to the exclusive reliance on written correspondence, in the absence of telephone or voice communication, the risk of miscommunication and decreased efficiency is significantly heightened.”

Hi Charlotte, Thank you so much for your feedback! We understand your point about the reliance on written communication. As our tutors support a number of students at once, we've found that the best way to ensure everyone receives a timely response - and that coursework is marked within the promised 48-hour window - is by keeping communication to email. This helps our tutors stay focused and avoid delays that might come from needing to step away from marking to take calls. If you ever have concerns or need further clarification, please don’t hesitate to reach out via email. We're here to assist you! Best wishes, The TEFL Org Team

“I did a TEFL course in order to get access to certain job vacancies I hadn't seen anywhere else. I passed the course (teaching neurodiverse students), which I found interesting and useful. I'm sure it will be a useful addition to my CV. However, the job vacancy I am less happy with. I want to teach during my summer break in Ukraine or Poland and have secured a couple of short engagements in Poland outside of TEFL.org. The TEFL.org vacancy shown for a summer camp has 3 different ways to contact them and they have not replied on any of them. As I have not seen this camp advertised anywhere else, I am starting to think that it doesn't exist. Certainly, other places at least have the courtesy to send you a 'thanks, but no thanks' email or indeed an automatically generated 'Don't call us, we'll call you' reply. In this case, zero. Can you please confirm whether this vacancy is indeed a genuine offer?”

“The 120 hour course covers a lot including teaching large classes and remote lessons so you can actually start teaching when you finish your qualification. They offer discounts for future courses if you would like to advance your knowledge. My tutor Thomas was great, every assignment I submitted he marked, gave me valuable feedback and gave me an alternative idea for the same topic. On the assignments I was lacking something he pushed me to figure out what was missing instead of just telling me. Overall great experience and it took me less than 6 months.”

The course modules were very good organized and the lessons were very informative. The videos were fantastic, it was great balance between reading, listening and writing(doing the exercises). I really liked the essays, because they gave you a chance to understand if you understood the lesson.”

“The course is very challenging, especially if you're not strong on the grammar. My assigned Tutor, Angie was terrific to work with. Excellent course. Only thing I would change is the word count on some of the lesson plan assignments. I would change the word count from 600 to 400. Overall, I am pleased with the course. I even purchased online two of the recommended grammar books.”

“I found this course quite challenging at first , especially as I hadn't studied anything in years , it took a bit of time to get my brain back into gear! That said once I got going , I really enjoyed it.The feed back from the tutors was always clear and helpful, and I was Impressed by how quicklyy they responded and marked my work. Initially I enrolled simply because I felt I needed something to stimulate my mind after retiring , but now I'm seriously considering teaching small groups. In fact I've decided to subscribe to the Advanced young learners course. I would absolutley recommend the TEFL course to anyone considering teaching , it truly teaches you so much and gives you the confidence to move forward.”
