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!
The unit focuses on teaching the productive skills of speaking and writing.
For students to feel the need and desire to communicate , the teacher must be able to stimulate the students and this can be achieved by various methods including conventional and unconventional games.
There are accuracy based activities and fluency based activities. The teacher will control the language and the output with accuracy activities and check the students understanding, whereas with fluency the focus is on the students being free to use the language in an effective way.
The challenge for the teacher is to encourage all the students to speak in the classroom and they will utilise a number of different strategies for example pair work, group work and meaningful speaking based exercises .
Writing skills offer another set of challenges with factors such as handwriting , spelling, grammar, punctuation and layout needing consideration. Creative writing should also be encouraged as it engages the students and can often leave them with a sense of pride
