Response from Teach Away
Hi Stacey,
Firstly, we appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback on the course and we are glad that you valued the 100% online and self-paced format of the OISE TEFL course.
The expert education faculty at the university opted for pre-recorded videos, interactive slides, and downloadable PDFs to ensure the lessons are engaging while allowing for an asynchronous course. The course is also designed in such a way that students can self-assess through quizzes and short answer questions. Students are graded by way of unit tests and written reflection journals. The journals are graded by our Teaching Assistants twice on weekdays and once on weekends.
We're sorry to hear about your technical issues. I know I was able to help you in late March with your journal submission issue and would have been happy to help further had I been aware of your trouble! We are always available for our students when asked.
I hope you also found value in taking a course from a recognized institution. It's important to note that TEFL courses are not accredited, and there is no regulatory body governing the standards of TEFL courses. This accounts for the variety of TEFL courses available at drastically different costs.
When researching different courses the most important consideration you will make is choosing your TEFL course provider. In the case of this TEFL course, teachers are paying for and completing a TEFL course designed by an internationally recognized top-20 university. You will find that most reputable TEFL courses to hover around the $1,000 mark.
We are still here to support you in your teach abroad adventure and please let us know if you would like to chat about your job hunt.
Best,
Elspeth
