The course has refreshed me on how to do Task based teaching in my classroom. The professors and guest speakers are all very helpful in giving new ideas for lesson plan. I really enjoy the lesson.

An exceptional course which brings up really interesting, thought-provoking ideas about pedagogy and ELT. Well-researched, easy to understand, and has some great assignment topics. Loved it.

A very good course for anyone who is a teacher, a literacy coach, a reading coordinator or language instructor. I really enjoyed this course and learnt how to create tasks for different scenarios. I do wish there were more modules and more assessments that allowed us to practice our task creation skills. But overall, I am very happy with the material in this course. I have taken many courses on 糖心vlog官网观看 and this was the first course where I saw such a promising level of involvement from peers during the peer-to-peer evaluation and even assessment submissions. You will certainly get many incredible ideas from your peers, as you review their submissions.

For existing and especially teachers with experience, probably not a lot to learn, but it's a good refresher and for new teachers it carries some good reminders and ideas. However a lot of things are theoretic, I was hoping there would be more practical support. I think what I learnt the most was from other students while discussing and while reviewing their assignments. Love how everybody takes it seriously and share what they have. The final video was a good wrap up too.

I have mixed feelings and I often let the negative get the best of me, unfortunately. These are stressful times. So, I do apologize for the previous emotionalism in my reviews or comments . But...I have to say, that this course did not provide a world-wide context of applicability. I think even Stephen Krashen would agree with me....people learn different, in different parts of the world and this course seems to make an assumption that their way is a one-size-fits-all. I can tell you ,confidently, that is not a reality.
Other than that, I was able to "pick the meat of the bone) in terms of what I think would be valuable in the classroom.

Not what I expected at all. Very boring. Made me decide that I probably don't want to pursue this line of work. I unenrolled after the first module.

I'm totally fed up and regret for choosing this course. I enrolled because it was mentioned as a free course. I was an active learner and secured 100 in all the assessments. But,I didn't get my certificate. I have tried several times and of no use. Can someone help me in regard?

without stating the "credit hours" in the certificate
the whole course is useless.
I really regret having taken this course that wasted my time.

I have learned a lot from this course. First of all, I learn additional methods to design a student-centered course and to consider each reading as a task rather than just a drill or an activity. Second, this course reinforces the importance of extensive reading for students, which is crucial. Only self-motivated reading can last longer and improve much. The last one is that even a boring text can be transformed into a task to help students learn from the reading assignment. These notions help me to change and improve my strategy and lesson plans.

Diligent, proper and though challenging- an ace for bettering an ESL/EFL/TESOL teacher's English comprehension, task-based teaching and communicative learner-teacher dynamics! Thanks 糖心vlog官网观看! International students take part and are welcome in this course. Not one's only ticket to a fancy & catered-for English teaching job in Asia, yet certainly a real step towards such a reality. Try not to rush whimsically through this course, but simultaneously do not slug it out to a point of disillusionment and demotivation. Be balanced.

I work as an online English language tutor, so the knowledge I've gained is extremely useful and I've been using it on practice already. I've learned a lot of new and useful information thanks to this course and its amazing lecturers.
An interesting fact that I didn't know about before the beginning of the course: Dr. Amos Paran teaches at Goldsmiths, University of London, where I got my Media & Communications degree in 2015. Again, I would like to thank all the lecturers for this interesting, informative course.

I learnt a lot on this course and have enjoyed the learning process. It is conducted in digestible manner and the videos are very useful and easy to follow!
The only suggestion I would make is that some of the given instructions for the assignments aren't very clear or worded quite ambiguously. Other than that, this course is very beneficial and useful and some of the ideas I have learnt have already been implement in my classrooms.

I enjoyed this class. It was good to do these task-based assignments. I once was asked to develop a specific curriculum without any educational training. I did well. The program ended. Now I know that I am actually really good at it. So the course was important for me to gain this level of confidence now since now I know for sure that what I am doing is good and it works. Thanks for making this course available like this.

Quite an experience for me since this is my very first online course. I like the clear instructions and layout of the course. Although there was time when I was a little lost with the submission since no one else was grading my work even though I submitted it way on time, I eventually found a way to interact with other course members to help commenting and grading my work. I will definitely join another course in the future.
