Valuable and Easy to go through

I found this course to be a good refresher for all the language skills I already use without thinking. It is very easy to navigate through the platform and the video content provided was very helpful. I liked that it gave different approaches depending on the level of ESL learners of your class. I would definitely recommend this course to a friend. If I could give any advice is to take notes, it might be tempting to just skip through the lessons because when you know English, most of these concepts just "make sense" but studying and taking notes with care really helped me get through the quizzes and test!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Definitely going over the classification of the verb tenses! I had completely forgotten about the different tense categories so I had to write each down individually with the structure of how the sentence should go.
Pros
  • Self-paced.
  • The platform was easy to navigate.
  • Content is straight forward.
What other participants should know
  • I would like more engagement during the lessons, perhaps interactive activities.

My experiences

As a graduate of my university's French teaching department, the opportunity to also have an English certificate was very important to me. So it was a great experience and opportunity for me.I believe that I can improve my experience in many areas thanks to this certificate. A certificate that I can use in my country or European countries.One of my favorite features of the program is that it puts students first while completing the training. It talks about methods and activities that will improve the teacher while ensuring the student learns.

A very professional and well-structured course!

It is evident a lot of work has gone into the production of this course. It is professional and easy to use, and although there is a lot of information to cover, each part is broken up into sections which makes it easier to digest, as well as some small end of module quizzes which you must pass to move on to the next module to ensure understanding. The final exam tests knowledge of all areas to ensure thorough understanding and I now feel very confident in teaching English as a second language!!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
There is a lot of information to get through on this course but if you take it at a steady pace (I aimed for a module a day and used a whole week to revise) you will get through it no problem! It took me 6 weeks to get through all the modules and one final week to revise.
Pros
  • It was very helpful to watch example videos of a real TEFL lesson.
  • Having the option of support from a teacher on the course was reassuring.
  • Teaching tips and examples of lesson plans were very beneficial for me.
What other participants should know
  • Tenses are a tricky subject, it would help to have more explanation on this for future users.

Higher Learning

This program prepares you for all of the aspects of teaching. As someone who has a great deal of experience in teaching without licensing, this program hit a lot of areas that are familiar and true to the field. I would recommend the program to everyone. This program creates opportunities for people to travel, explore the world and maybe move from one country to another. I would encourage the course makers to offer the courses that are up sold at a discount to people scoring 90% or better. 😉 This discount may encourage students to continue their studies.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
Some of the harder grammar topics I would offer extra drilling sessions as they should come second nature in teaching English.
Pros
  • They give you a lot of ideas of ways to teach each topic.
  • They give you some videos to show you how a lesson could be executed.
  • They cover a multitude of subjects in the teaching field.
What other participants should know
  • There could be more opportunities for practice to ensure mastery.
  • There could be more videos to show how the given teaching techniques are executed.
  • A video lesson could be a part of the final before the certificate.

Excellent Experience

I learnt a lot more than expected.
Also the course was easy to navigate and was very clear with extra helpful tips along the way! It threw me back to being in school at different ages and overall was a good course that I'm sure will really help me going froward!
To add to this if you need any help or get stuck with anything along the way there are tutors available to help you along the way. You can do the course as quickly or slowly as you want allowing for you to learn and study at your own pace! Awesome course!

Amazing Accredited Course

Despite having multiple PhD and Doctorates in other areas (not in English), it's always my inspiration to teach English to non-English speakers. The language brings anyone a long way ahead. Despite my PhD and Doctorate, organizations schools and universities WANT teachers and lecturers to have at least TEFL or TESOL, and there are many training providers out there offering such courses. I investigated all of them, from the most expensive one from Cambridge to those which cost less than USD10 via Groupon. After final days and weeks of investigation, the expensive ones are too far *beyond reach, but this is the BEST after the " Top Tier TESOL training providers". Few things triggered me to select and choose WTA as my final choice :
1. WTA has the CPD logo on its certificate (many other second or lower-tier training providers don't have them - meaning they might not be CPD recognised, or could not be bothered to put that logo on their certificated (either or...)
2. WTA has "ACCREDITAT" logo on its certificate to give further confirm of its accreditation and "legitness"
3. WTA has the UKRLK UK Registered Training Provider and anyone can check with the website to confirm it. So it confirms it has gone through the proper registration process in the UK
4. It guarantees that CHINA and Vietnam at least WOULD recognise the WTA certificate. Although WTA can only confirm China and Vietnam, China's population is one of the largest in the world. If one combines the United States and Europe, China's population is much more, and CHina and Vietnam is there the market for TESOL and TEFL. No point teaching English to the UK and the USA - it's like selling sand to the Arabs !!

And finally, aesthetically !!!, WTA has the MOST beautiful certificate of TESOL IN THE WORLD. Even the top tier training providers certificates are NO match to such a beautiful, professional and "EYE POPPING" WTA certifiated. As you can see, in Youtubes and all, every WTA graduates are proud "showing off" their WTA certificate - well this is estetics, but every single bit goes a long way. People pay and they want the best of "everything" - basic human nature.

So, in short, I never regret enrolling for my TESOL at WTA. Even if WTA one day increase the enrollment fee to USD100++ or more, I will still pay for it !! CONGRATULATIONS and GOOD JOB WTA Team !!

TESOL

TESOL course was easy to use and access, making the online experience enjoyable and dynamic. The content is useful and not difficult to understand. I can also speak to the help of the tutors, which helped me real quick when I had an issue with my personal information. It's a good and helpful opportunity for those who need to deepen their skills on teaching. Personally, I found the online teaching module very helpful. I feel more confident and ready to teach online now after having done this course.

My Journey to 120 Hour TEFT/TESOL Course

Embarking on the Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) course was a transformative experience that enriched my perspective on education and language. From the initial decision to enroll to the final stage of the course, each step of the journey provided invaluable insights and challenged me in unexpected ways. The course not only equipped me with the essential theoretical knowledge but also immersed me in practical teaching methodologies. One of the unique aspects of my journey was the diverse cohort, bringing together individuals from various cultural and linguistic backgrounds. This diversity enhanced our discussions, fostering a rich exchange of ideas and approaches.
The coursework delved into language acquisition theories, teaching methodologies, and practical strategies for effective classroom management. It was intellectually stimulating and provided a solid foundation for understanding the complexities of language teaching. However, the true essence of my TESOL experience emerged in actual classroom after the course. I would like to extend my gratitude to World TESOL Academy for facilitating a transformative learning experience. Their comprehensive curriculum, diverse cohort, and practical teaching opportunities were instrumental in shaping me into a confident and adaptable language educator. The support and resources provided throughout the course contributed significantly to my growth, and I am thankful for the invaluable skills and insights gained during this enriching journey. Finally I wholeheartedly recommend the this course to all the English teachers who seek a rewarding and fruitful journey in language education.

What would you improve about this program?
If I may suggest improvements for the TESOL course, I recommend enhancing the practical teaching components. Providing more opportunities for real classroom experience or interactive simulations would better prepare educators for the challenges they may face. Additionally, incorporating modules on integrating technology into language teaching could equip participants with valuable skills for the modern classroom. Continuous updates to reflect the latest trends and methodologies in language education would further ensure the course's relevance and effectiveness.
Pros
  • Comprehensive Curriculum
  • Diverse Cohort and Cultural Exposure
  • Global Relevance
What other participants should know
  • Theoretical Overload
  • Feedback Mechanisms
  • No scope of ensuring speaking skill of the participants. Needed voice record option for the participants for 5 minutes
