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!
In this unit, I learned the most commonly used language learning and teaching methodologies, such as grammar-translation, audio-lingualism, communicative language teaching, etc. Each theory has its advantages and disadvantages, so teachers should be able to utilize these methodologies freely according to the students' real situation, like ages, former learning experience, and culture. For example, students whose learning experience mainly was based on grammar-translation would find it difficult to adjust to communicative language teaching, which is a very common situation in China; thus, teachers need to combine these methods and then help the students to produce the language.
In addition, I also learned to ESA stages in class, and how to manage each stage. The ideas and activities for each stage provided in the unit are enlighting. What is more, the skills of elicitation, correction, and giving feedback are also very helpful in real teaching. A good teacher should always bear in mind that the best teaching techniques are those been placed at the right stage and the right time for the right level.
