Great course but not the best match for me as I will do one on one online lessons for adults and no group or classroom teaching.

This is a nice course for those who want to get a basic knowladge in the theory of teaching as well as to see how it's used in practice. As for disadvantages - the lack of modern tools to make lessons more interactive.

This course goes over important topics and gives you a glimpse of everything involved in English teaching and learning, I strongly recommended it.

I did learn many things which will be useful in my future teaching classes. The course is a good overview of different techniques and terms used by TEFL teachers. I enjoyed it.

It was a little more technical than I had expected, but it was clear and rather compact, so didn't get boring.

Good match and very detailed about the different tasks of a teacher. Maybe some of the descriptions were a bit too detailed, but overall can be used as a starting point for teaching (that's what I'll try to do)

This course is aimed more at larger classroom style teaching and misses out on addressing the more one-on-one style teaching that I was looking for. It is very insightful but to most experienced teachers could come off as repetitive and boring.

Yes, of course as it has helped me to learn new vistas of teaching and perhaps learning too. Setting the question paper, and correcting errors in LSRW is indeed quite helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed the course.

I will tutoring students one on one, so the classroom excercises, etc, and othe rthings will not really apply

Да, курс полон новой информации, но не помешали бы субтитры чтобы записывать имена авторов, например.

It was quite basic, I was expecting a little more. Having said that, I guess it a good course for a beginner. The facilitator should interact (come on screen) else it's like listening to a teacher reading off a text book. I hope she will make better courses... thank you Fiona and good luck...cheers!
