It helps a lot! Thank you for providing the course!

For existing and especially teachers with experience, probably not a lot to learn, but it's a good refresher and for new teachers it carries some good reminders and ideas. However a lot of things are theoretic, I was hoping there would be more practical support. I think what I learnt the most was from other students while discussing and while reviewing their assignments. Love how everybody takes it seriously and share what they have. The final video was a good wrap up too.

I definitely gained some useful information in this course and I liked that it made me think about how I design lessons and how I can improve upon that. However, I feel that the course would be much improved if the instructors spent at least a little time checking in, making sure the links all still worked, and actually interacted with the students taking this course. The instructors were completely absent as far as I could tell. Even just a few comments here and there in the discussions would be nice. Also, I don't really like that the entire course grade is based on peer reviews.

Most of the links weren't clickable and were no longer working. Would love to see more articles shared that we could read throughout that are free, not protected by Pay Wall.

I have learned a lot from this course. First of all, I learn additional methods to design a student-centered course and to consider each reading as a task rather than just a drill or an activity. Second, this course reinforces the importance of extensive reading for students, which is crucial. Only self-motivated reading can last longer and improve much. The last one is that even a boring text can be transformed into a task to help students learn from the reading assignment. These notions help me to change and improve my strategy and lesson plans.

Diligent, proper and though challenging- an ace for bettering an ESL/EFL/TESOL teacher's English comprehension, task-based teaching and communicative learner-teacher dynamics! Thanks Coursera! International students take part and are welcome in this course. Not one's only ticket to a fancy & catered-for English teaching job in Asia, yet certainly a real step towards such a reality. Try not to rush whimsically through this course, but simultaneously do not slug it out to a point of disillusionment and demotivation. Be balanced.

I work as an online English language tutor, so the knowledge I've gained is extremely useful and I've been using it on practice already. I've learned a lot of new and useful information thanks to this course and its amazing lecturers.

An interesting fact that I didn't know about before the beginning of the course: Dr. Amos Paran teaches at Goldsmiths, University of London, where I got my Media & Communications degree in 2015. Again, I would like to thank all the lecturers for this interesting, informative course.

Добрый день! Для меня курс оказался полезным. Время прошло продуктивно! Выполняя задания, я закрепляла знания и эти материалы сразу использовала на уроке. После занятия я получила хороший отзыв от ученика! Спасибо за предоставленные возможности и знания, за интересные эксперименты с учениками, чтобы превратить чтение в удовольствие! Было интересно проверять работы коллег по курсу. Проделав такую работу, обмениваешься опытом и ещё раз повторяешь материл курса.

I loved this course, THANK you to the teachers that develped this programme, they shared with us their knowledge and experience in a way that you engage us as learners till the end. Several takes away for us to practice a better teaching with a deep understanding of what is task-based for teaching, it gave us tools, ideas and foundations that give us certainty for planning with acuracy and impact on our students to promote engaged and fluent readers.

Successfully completing the EF/ESL certificate course from the University of London was an enriching experience. The comprehensive curriculum and expert guidance significantly improved my English language skills. The course not only honed my language proficiency but also provided valuable insights into effective communication. Grateful for the opportunity to enhance my language abilities through this well-structured and impactful program.

I learnt a lot on this course and have enjoyed the learning process. It is conducted in digestible manner and the videos are very useful and easy to follow!

The only suggestion I would make is that some of the given instructions for the assignments aren't very clear or worded quite ambiguously. Other than that, this course is very beneficial and useful and some of the ideas I have learnt have already been implement in my classrooms.

I enjoyed this class. It was good to do these task-based assignments. I once was asked to develop a specific curriculum without any educational training. I did well. The program ended. Now I know that I am actually really good at it. So the course was important for me to gain this level of confidence now since now I know for sure that what I am doing is good and it works. Thanks for making this course available like this.

Quite an experience for me since this is my very first online course. I like the clear instructions and layout of the course. Although there was time when I was a little lost with the submission since no one else was grading my work even though I submitted it way on time, I eventually found a way to interact with other course members to help commenting and grading my work. I will definitely join another course in the future.

Hello my dear collegues! I was really happy to participate in this course! Because These courses gave me a lot of opportunities to develop my teaching skills. I got more useful information and it helped me to improve my english teaching methods.Be happy and healthy my dear collegues! I've also known a lot from collegues from anothet countries! Be Wealthy and See you on the next course organized by this University!

I absolutely had a wonderful experince in teaching reading especially in Task Based Approach. This course has broaden my horizon . Now, I feel much more confident and experienced in preparing tasks and activities about a reading text. I am sure my students will also benefit from my experience. I owe my special thanks to Coursera family and its devoted lecturerers. Can't wait to enrol other courses! Thank you!

I am really grateful to finish this course in Coursera. Coursera has given me a chance to learn a lot about my field of interest (Languages, Reading and Literacy). The course about Task Based Approach is a avenue for a teacher to upgrade his/her teaching techniques especially during reading class. I absolutely recommended this course to all Language and Reading teachers. Happy Learning everyone!

It is a very useful course to learn about how to make reading a more practical activity inside the classroom. They give lots of resources to put into practice in the classes and the explanations are clear. I learned a lot and I recommend this course to everyone who wants to enrich their knowledge and become a good professional in teaching reading.

This course is an absolute refresher of my stored- reading knowledge. It is indeed a very informative comprehensive learning experience. The speaker or lecturers are very competent and compassionate in presenting and delivering a crystal clear instruction, valuable researched inputs information and well- spoken presentation. A huge thanks.

Superb! One of the best courses I've ever taken, on Coursera or otherwise. This course has changed the way I teach reading. Dr. Paran and Dr. Revesz lead informative and engaging lectures, and the activities helped me produce materials that I have been incredibly proud of. A must-take course for teachers of multilingual readers.

This course is great. It has really added more to what I knew. The assignment section gave me the opportunity to put what I was learning into practice. I have been able to share some wonderful ideas from the course to other language teachers and they really loved it. Thank you giving me to the chance to learn with you from afar.

This course provides well researched information and strategies about how to most effectively guide students to learn using a language they are learnimg. The presentation of the course informaiton is both audi and visual and provides both discussion and opportunities to use the information as it is being learned.

A fantastic course which was easy to follow and had a great format. It allowed me to learn and apply my knowledge. I enjoyed reading peers work and giving them feedback. It has encouraged me as well as given me the confidence to use task-based teaching in my classrooms. Thank you for developing this course!

I've loved taking this course! My initial intention was to improve my ESP classes, since I work only with reading comprehension, but I've learned so much about using tasks in class that I'm looking forward to start using them with my other students. Thank you very much for providing such an enlightening course!

This is an excellent class because you not only get introduced to things you may not have known about before, but also you get to do hands-on assignments applying the things you're hearing about. It has also given me concrete skills I can use since it's built around having you create your own TBLT activities.

As an EFL teacher, one aspect I did not focus on was reading. Showing or giving the students the opportunity to enjoy reading and focused more on the linguistic aspects of English. After taking this course, I look forward to applying what I have learned and hopefully inspire students to read and enjoy it.
