  In this video we take a look at the difference between "me" and "I". While they are often used without a problem in normal sentences, they are often used incorrectly in certain situations. For example, in the sentence "can you send the report to Ian and I" the use of "I" is incorrect. It should be "can you send the report to Ian and me" The reason for this is that "I" is a subject pronoun and ?me" is an object pronoun. If you remove Ian from the sentence, it becomes clear that the use of "I" is wrong. You would not say ?can you send the report to I" but you would say "can you send the report to me?". This is an easy trick to see which of the two is the correct one. Watch the video and give it a try. Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their...  [Read more]

When you enroll in a TEFL or TESOL certification course with ITTT, you have the privilege of selecting which acronym you would like to appear on your certificate. Either TEFL or TESOL is perfectly acceptable since they are often used interchangeably within the English language teaching community. However, if you have a specific employment destination in mind, it would be beneficial to conduct some research to determine which of the two acronyms is more commonly preferred in your chosen location. If the majority of employers in your target region are seeking TEFL-qualified teachers in their job listings, it makes sense to opt for that designation, and conversely, if TESOL certificates are more prevalent. After successfully completing your course and obtaining your TEFL or TESOL certificate,...  [Read more]

In the same way that we would expect our surgeon, dentist or airline pilot to have undertaken some training, our students of English might also expect their teachers to be trained and competent. What does it mean that our English teacher is competent? Possibly there are two major components to the answer: 1. The teacher has adequate subject knowledge. 2. The teacher has some classroom delivery skills. First you need to find a course that offers these components. While many native English speakers have learned the rules of English grammar sub-consciously as part of their language development, this does not give them the necessary subject knowledge required to teach English. So both native English speakers (NES) and non-native English speakers (NNES) should have some background knowledge of...  [Read more]
