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!

This unit was about course books and lesson materials. First I learned that there are two types of materials: authentic and created. Authentic materials are all the things a native speaker can hear or read e.g. newspaper, TV show, a menu, etc. They are not graded (not suitable for EFL students) but they're more interesting and motivating because they are real. Created materials are the ones that the teacher designs to complement or replace materials from a course book, e.g.: crosswords, role-plays, word search puzzles, etc. Since the teacher creates them, they are suitable to work with EFL students. With regard to course books, some teachers love to work with them and others don't. Course books are good because they are carefully graded, they provide a balance of skills (reading, grammar, vocabulary, etc.) and students can see progression through the course when they use them. Some disadvantages of course books are: they are written for a general audience (not for a specific group of students) so maybe they won’t be helpful because they will be too advanced or too simple for your class; also, if the students don’t like the book, they won’t want to work with it and maybe will get bored. At the moment of choosing a course book (if you have this option) you should take into consideration price, availability, the methodology employed, if the syllabus is suitable for your students, among others.
