This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned:

S.B. - U.S.A. said:
This unit presented two key forms of language - conditionals and reported speech. Conditionals are used to express possibilities in the past, present or future, and are identifiable through the use of words \"if\" and \"when\". Conditional sentences are made up of two clauses - the \"if\" clause and the main clause. The \"if\" clause consists of the condition that needs to be met before the main clause's action or state can be achieved (or its consequence can unfold). There are five main forms of conditionals: the zero, first, second, third and mixed conditional (which is a combination of the second and third conditional). Reported (or indirect) speech involves relaying something that you have been told (or heard) via direct speech, meaning you are reporting or passing on information that someone has disclosed to you (or that you heard someone disclose) to someone else. When using reported speech, you must change a number of elements - such as the tense, time expressions, and pronouns - to differentiate the context in which you are reporting the information from the context in which you received the information. As a native English speaker, I found these concepts quite difficult to learn about, as I had naturally acquired them over years of exposure and therefore never needed to study them in such depth. I can see that, as a teacher, I will need to provide a lot of examples to my future students to explain, as well as differentiate, these concepts.
