This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned:
In unit 14 I learned that there are two different types of books/materials a teacher can use. Authentic materials are anything a native speaker would read or hear such as newspapers, radio, and brochures and connote be graded to the level of the students. Created materials are usually designed by the teacher and can be graded to the level of the students, such as crossword puzzles, gap fill activities, role-play cards and word search puzzles.
I also learned that there are advantages and disadvantages to using the selected course book. The disadvantages are that the course and textbook dictate what will be taught, they are predictable and tend to be boring for the students, and do not always fit the specific needs and interests of the students in your class. Advantages to using the course book are that it will be easier for a inexperienced, beginner teacher, and usually consists of a balanced mix of vocabulary, grammar, and skills work.
