About the Course

Through a series of engaging metaphors and stories, prospective and current EFL/ESL teachers will identify, summarize, and evaluate 7 basic language learning paradigms. Learners will be presented information on such foundational principles as motivation, risk taking, two different modes of learning, and balancing the teacher profession. Learners are also given an understanding of basic techniques founded on those principles, such as teacher talk, looking “ridiculous” in order to lower the affective filter, and networking. With these foundational principles in mind, ESL/EFL teachers will scrutinize common assumptions about language learning by comparing how they stack up to research-based core principles....

Simply amazing. Loved every single minute of it. I feel myself a much better teacher, I’ve learnt how to see resources to give a better class as well as offer my students better practices of learning.

Content is high quality and the professors are engaging. Videos need more visuals than just someone speaking at you 90% of the time though. The quizzes are decent in that I had to actually go back and look at the material a few times to remember the answer, so they're not too easy. But the writing assignments are kind of a joke in that as long as you write a few sentences of anything remotely related to the content you will get a passing grade. It's good practice to read other people's assignments to see what you might be dealing with in a real English class, but you're not required to actually grade it either. I suppose if you do a video you get to practice speaking to an audience. I plan on doing the full certificate so I hope the next assignments are more worthwhile. For the price of $50 a month it's a good deal. I was able to complete this first part in 2 days, but I suppose if you're working full time or have a family it could take you a lot longer.

There was interesting information in the class, but the peer review questions were not well developed to stimulate thought and new ideas. Many of the answers I read were just repetitions of what was learned in class. I think the objectives and expectations could have been more clearly communicated and the statement themselves better thought out. I also did not find the peer review process to be that productive as a grading tool. The parameters for grading were extremely simple and the feed back was quite subjective from students that did not understand the assignments.

While I learned some useful information, I won't continue with this course.

I just decided to quit, I don't want to be Don Quixote. I can't fight with a suspect of a potential plagiarism on the every step for eight courses, not when AI is around us, not worth of my nerves. I liked teachers' approach, teachers, materials ...everything else worked for me. A pretty disappointed. And need to check for my money return.

It's interesting, clear and useful. On the other hand, I found it quite repetitive in a sense that it has the same structure for every module and the questions repeat themselves so it can be boring sometimes and not very stimulating. The positive aspects are that you can do it at your pace, and that's a great advantage.

Es un curso bastante básico y muy fácil. Son tareas muy ambiguas y no te las corrige ningún profesor. Al final te dicen que para tener el certificado tienes que terminar los 6 cursos más otros dos. Aunque es interesante para empezar como profesor de inglés, no lo recomendaría por el precio que vale.
