Each unit’s content includes charts, tables, and diagrams to support the content. Also included are audios and videos from teachers who are working in China, sharing their own experiences. There are various activities (e.g. Try It, Write About It, Consider This, etc.) to help you reflect on what you are learning, to apply this knowledge, and to integrate information from other units to make sure you’re “getting it.”
The TEFL in China Online course has very clear goals. By the end of this course, you will be able to:
