"I searched online for a good program and just happened to come across this website. After careful reading and inquiring about the program, I realized that this would be a great program for me. I chose Worldwide Teachers because it is reputable and I wanted something that would be recognized in the states when we return. We are currently living overseas, but we will be back in the states in a few years. I enjoyed this class so much that I recommended it to another person. She should
be starting in the next session."
Angela J.
CTEFL Graduate
"I like the lessons on modals and realia, as they both are things that I want to focus on in class. The lessons are helping me to write up my own lessons plans on these topics.
I think it's a great course. I learned a lot and will use much of what I have learned. I have recommended it to a friend who is also teaching in Russia."
Kathleen P.
CTEFL Graduate
"I think is was very effective. I learned so much in a short period of time. [A] great course.
I needed some course work to get ESL put on my teaching eligibility certificate and didn't have a lot of time. I recommend it for teachers and tutors who are already involved with ESLstudents."
Stephanie R .
CTEFL Graduate
"I enjoyed the interaction between my instructor and myself. I felt that she was always available to share her experiences, add valuable comments and offer encouragement. I enjoyed the lesson plans that were part of the homework assignments. They required that I do some reasearch and external reading to create them.
I felt that Worldwide Teachers has an excellent reputation for developing students and providing ongoing advice and assistance."
Jean R .
CTEFL Graduate
"[I liked] being able to go to class when I wanted to and as often as I wanted to. [My Instructor] was great and I liked how she was availale for my various questions. I enjoyed the grammar reviews because it is always a good idea to brush up. I also enjoyed all the lessons on how to bring different techniques into the classroom using videos or songs. These lessons contained great information and information on how to apply it to various learning levels. The course covered an amazing amount of material. It was my first time taking an on-line course and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked.
The most important thing I got out of the course it a confidence that I have what it takes to teach English. I just want to say thank you for providing this course. It is a professional course that worked perfectly into my schedule. It gave me just what I needed."
Laurel P .
CTEFL Graduate
"The information was very good and current for todays teaching methods. [It included] everything I needed to begin a new career. I'm looking forward to continue my studies and make a change for the better.
I want to thank everone for the help especially [my instructor]. She was great and her daily input was much needed and valued.
[I appreciated] the professional approach, the web site and then speaking to the assistant on the phone did it for me."
Kevin B.
CTEFL Graduate
"I got so many great ideas. I got a better understanding of the complete definition of the communicative approach.
I choose Worldwide because you were reasonably priced, you were recommended and I've always wanted to conquer my fear of online classes! I did it!"
Diana L.
CTEFL Graduate
"It's convenient. I typically work 6 days a week so I don't have the time to go school and take classes in a classroom setting. Being able to make my own hours is wonderful. I really enjoyed making the lesson plans. It's not something I've ever had to do before and I look forward to utilizing them in my future TEFL job.
The entire web site is very easy to access and use. The class was a good price and being on the internet made it very convenient."
Deron H.
CTEFL Graduate
"I
got 'A LOT' from this course. I've attempted teaching EFL a few times
and found my lack of methodology frustrating. I knew what I was trying
to accomplish, but not quite sure how to do it. Now I feel confident
I have the tools to construct effective and interesting lesson plans
and deliver them with confidence... "Great course!! I wish it
were longer!"
Mandy
M.
CTEFL Graduate
I
liked the "clarity of material, both the format and content",
[that there was] "enough time to complete my assignments",
[and the] ability to log on [to the online campus] according to my
schedule." [I also got] "a firm idea of how to go about
structuring lessons to teach ESL. [The course] "took the guesswork
out of how to teach this broad subject."
Faviana
O.
CTEFL
Graduate
"I
loved the fact that I check into my lessons, review and go on the
Forum at any time... and pace myself. I thought [my advisor was] very
insightful and supportive. The Discussion Forums were really helpful
as well. A great way to get the feeling that I was actually in a classroom
albeit a cyber-classroom.
Goodness, there were so many [things I enjoyed] where do I begin?
Honestly, everything was useful and informative. I loved the whole
Communicative Approach. I really enjoyed the methodology levels and
lesson planning sections which were really very helpful as was classroom
management and use of the eclectic approach. The Eliciting techniques
was also great. I loved the use of the creative approach in teaching
and really appreciated the examples provided.
"Overall, I really liked this course and think it's a great program.
It's well organized and just a great program. I heard about the course
quite by chance. I was browsing on the Internet for a legitimate on-line
TEFL course and after reading over your FAQs I felt convinced that
this was definitely the best on-line course available for me. I chose
Worldwide because it just seemed very credible and organized. It has
a great on-line program, there are no "hidden" agendas and the fact
that it is officially recognized by TEFL Assoc., Dept. of Education
in Mass. plus additional private and public institutes played a great
factor in my decision to go with Worldwide Teachers."

"I
would highly recommend this course to all those seeking to learn how
to become a certified and competent EFL teacher. I loved the course
and the tremendous amount of assistance I received from everyone,
especially my advisor, Eva. She was marvelously helpful and patient.
I received more help from her on-line than I have ever received from
my college advisors.... I particularly enjoyed the methodology lessons,
the workshops, ideas for classroom management, resume/cv advice, lesson
planning and the sample contract lesson".
Kelly

"I
loved how accessible the course was and how easy it was to access
the lessons and perform the tasks. My classmates and advisor were
a great help and I learned so much. [The course] allowed me to spend
as much time as I wanted or needed on every topic and provided extensive
links and information for further study. I though the structure was
very comprehensive and only wish it was longer. I
learned so much about methodology... I feel that I now have a great
foundation for my upcoming practicum in Russia."

learning experience."

"[I
liked] everything! [The entire] online course has been valuable and
positive. I enjoyed all of the lessons... Creative Arts in Teaching,
The Writing Lesson, The Reading Lesson, The Conversation Lesson -
all of them. I loved doing the research for the two essays... the
knowledge I acquired while doing the last one was invaluable."
"[The
course] motivated me to be a better teacher in every aspect. I have
been teaching the Communicative Approach for a year and had some doubts
which you cleared for me. You reassured my teaching in many ways.
I learned new techniques, new ways to prepare my lesson plans, a wide
variety of activities which will be very useful to my students. You
made me think a lot and work hard! You made me stay awake all night!
I saw daybreak so very often during these three weeks and that's wonderful!
You motivated me!"

me... Twenty-four years have passed since I graduated from college.
This course brought back memories from when I was a student. I must
admit there were days I felt a lot of stress, but at the same time
I liked the challenge. I am ready for another course!"
Aida
G.
CTEFL
Graduate
"It
was very convenient because of the flexibility it offered. I wouldn't
have been able to take the course if I had to travel elsewhere in
the country to take the course. I found all the lessons very helpful.
It was nice to get the overview of grammar along with the methodology
basics. In addition, I was grateful for the feedback on job related
subjects. The opportunity to interact on the message board with my
instructor and classmates was probably the most enjoyable."
"The
course provided me with the basic methodology, which I lacked. It
also gave me further ideas as to how to organize my lesson plans and
apply more effective class management. It also enabled me to see different
views and strategies in TEFL, thanks to the diversity in our class."
"I did research on the internet and I picked this program because
it was one of the few on-line courses available. Furthermore, the
tuition was very reasonable. It was also approved and recognized by
various organizations and seemed to have everything that an effective
course needs to have."
"Thank
you everyone..., I couldn't have done it without your assistance.
I loved every aspect of it. I would definitely recommend it to all
my friends."
