TEFL Videos - Figuratively vs Literally - English Grammar - Teaching Tips

These two words are often confused. Let's break it down. The word "figuratively" is used to describe something metaphorically, for example: Figuratively speaking, I am living on the edge due to my adventurous lifestyle. "Literally", on the other hand, describes something that really happened. An example sentence would be: After falling in the water, I literally smelled like fish. So remember, "figuratively" describes something metaphorically and "literally" something that really happened. That's it for today. See you next time!

Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching. This convenient, highly structured design means that you can quickly get to grips with each section before moving onto the next.

This unit is clear and allowed me to discover how I will have a good approach with students to help them on development of skills in speaking and writing field. This unit helped me to integrate new competence about difficult which will be encounter by students in writing production. Progressively, I integrate all new thinks I learned in order to be a good teacher.I felt like this was a good unit to finish the whole lesson. Learning how to trouble shoot is very important to ensure everything in the classroom runs smoothly. This unit has taught me how to manage a big classroom setting as well as a one student setting. I have also learned some of the techniques to use when dealing with students that are from different levels.
