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 covered some information about the two receptive skills of language - reading and listening. It gave an overview of what purposes we use them for (pleasure, seeking information), some specific skills needed when passively taking in information (prediction, scanning, skimming, reading for detail, deduction), and the importance of picking the correct topics and activities when designing a lesson plan. As with any lesson plan, the material should first and foremost be interesting and appropriate for the level of the students. Pre-teaching vocabulary, grammar points, and going over possible points of confusion can help ease students' anxiety and help them be more prepared and confident going in to the activity. It will also help the lesson go smoother. At the same time, it is important not to over-pre-teach as this overwhelm students and demotivate them. By teaching just enough for the students to understand the gist of the material, you create a base for them and allow them to practice deriving meaning from context; an important skill in any language and one that natives do on a frequent basis, though they may not realize it.
