“The TEFL.org courses are great! The grammar is explained clearly, the methodology course is immeasurably valuable and the tutor feedback is fantastic. My tutor had clear, precise advice and gave me oodles of great ideas for activities with students. Thank you! 😊”

“It took me about 2 months to complete the 120-hour TEFL course. The modules are relatively simple, it's the written assignments that took more time. Mr Thomas, my course tutor, gave constructive, insightful and encouraging feedback. Thank you very much for your time and effort. Also, I noticed that there are many resources are not up-to-date, such as the world guide, it is a 2021 version. I hope that TEFL Org would be kind enough to send me an updated one as I have made a monetary contribution for this course. Thanks a lot!”

“All in all a useful course and a very useful and recognized certificate. With some blind spots. (Which we all have. It’s okay. Really.) The TEFL Method is a rigid ESL structure that takes itself very seriously. There is no room in its dogma to admit or consider any other way of teaching English. As one winds their way through the course one is forced to be guided by TEFL’s inflexible rules, tediously and tirelessly laid out by the curriculum and reinforced by the Instructors and TAs. I found the homework feedback given to me by my TA Steve to be off putting and negative from the start, and after the first two assignments I stopped reading his responses altogether. (He began his second feedback to me thusly: “Do not do what you have written here”, which although admittedly has a certain amount of blunt humor, is unhelpful.) It was enough to know I passed the assignments and simply move on, without taking the time to read his feedback and take my lashes. He may have had some fantastic ideas from which I would have benefitted greatly. I wouldn’t know. The classroom videos of the course are excellent and illuminating. I enjoyed them and collected some good ideas. The website is buggy, but mostly functional. I often had to go back to a lesson and pretend to do it again for the Course to update it and mark it as completed. Upon completing a lesson, instead of moving me forward to the next lesson, the website would at times seem to freeze before taking me back to the main page of module, where I had to scroll down and find my correct lesson. A bit annoying. I am giving the 140-hour TEFL course 3/5 stars, because I did enjoy the material, whose subject matter (learning and teaching languages) I am passionate about. I did learn a lot. I just wish TEFL was more receptive to other ideas. For all its worthy insistence on Student Teaching Time, it felt like I was being preached at for 140 hours, including the 20-hour live module on Zoom, where questions were brushed aside, probably—and fairly—due to time constraints, and including my TA, who made it clear from the start that my class planning was to include only those ideas blessed in TEFL holy water. The TEFL Method is not so precious. There are many ways to learn a second language. There are as many ways to teach a second language. Humans learn things. It’s what we do. Alas, if you want the blessing of a recognized and renowned certification, you must enter the Church and take your lashes. Be sure to leave your own ideas and experiences at the Door.”

“I enjoyed the course very much. It was relevant, helpful and prepared me to be a better ESL teacher. I would have preferred some face to face interaction with my tutor at times and would love to get an overall study plan/curriculum e.g.how to work from stage (pre-intermediate) to stage(intermediate), or ready lesson plans. I loved the video lessons which served as really good examples, I appreciated the assignments even though some took longer than expected but they are needed I think. Thank you overall for putting this together. It is well thought through and well presented. Great work!”

“120-hour premier online course was a superb learning experience for me. Resource persons kept me engaged through bite-size lessons, quizzes, assignments all helping me towards the aims of this course. The Grammar and Methodology courses gave ample classroom examples. The teaching young learners and large classes course could be even better with classroom example. I strongly recommend exploring this one even if you are teaching subjects other than English.”

“I found the course extremely informative and well presented throughout. My level 5 course was divided into 6 courses and those in turn divided into modules. Each course was relevant to its subject material and a general thread of teaching English as a foreign language maintained throughout all courses. The video demonstrations and end of module quizzes helped to re-enforce the learning material. Working through the assignments although challenging at times, again re-enforced exactly what it is we supposed to be teaching and how. The 3 day classroom course put everything into place, my tutor Jo was amazing and was the iceing on the cake to make me feel I can now go out and teach. Thank you Tefl.org”

“The course was interesting and covered alot. I must be honest though, and say that the videos of classes were not very realistic. About 8 people in a class and all spoke pretty good English already not sure exactly what level they were. This did not help me much when it came to writing lesson plans for pre intermediate and intermediate. Also the Methodology video was about 'Clothes' ...easy right ? but it didn't help me at all to write a lesson plan for Past Continuous Interrupted for that module 😕!!! I teach 3hour long classes for Pre and Entry 1 with over 10 in most groups. The feedback is very limited but having said that they do get back within the 48hours. I'm guessing it's the best around but has a few areas for development .”

“The course was very good. Just one thing I'd like to point out is that when I did an assignment and then I'd get an email saying my assignment had been marked and there was feedback left by my tutor, I didn't see any feedback so thought there wasn't any feedback apart from passing me. I didn't realise I had to click into the assignment again and go and look for feedback. Granted, this is my fault but if I hadn't failed the very last assignment, I would never have figured out that my tutor had been leaving feedback for me throughout the course. Perhaps it should be made very obvious where to find this feedback in the emails that get sent.”

“A good course to learn and refresh some technics and methodology to teach English to non-native English speakers, given also the chance to follow your own pace and with always interesting and quick feedback from tutors to support your learning process. However, I deem it to be a little rigid when it comes to applying the methodology in a class session.”

“The lessons were clear and useful. However, within the modules there were some spelling mistakes in the text, which was very unprofessional, you would think there would be proofreaders. In some of the video lessons the audio is extremely quiet and hard to hear. The transcriptions of the videos aren't actually transcriptions except for in the Telephone Teaching Course. The transcriptions are a sentence saying what the video is of, not the words spoken. The combination of the lack of transcription and bad audio made some of the videos incomprehensible to me. The courses themselves did teach a lot about how to teach English and the necessary preparations for classes.”
