I'm Dilnaz and I'm a bachelor's student. I'm studying to be a teacher of foreign languages. This course was really useful and great for me. The best course in the world. Thank you a lot for the opportunity and for the new knowledge. I really excited that I get new knowledge, it helps my career in the teaching.

This course 1, has been extremely useful with crystal clear explanations , making the meaning clearer and fire up the teaching passion to the next level.

Thank you COURSERA and also I would like to thank Dr. Shane Dixon and Madam Andrea Haraway for making our journey stress free with good teaching techniques.

This is the third course I have completed so far within the TESOL Certificate course. I would like to thank Dr. Shane Dixon, Dr. Austin Shewell, and Andrea Haraway for making the course not only effective but also enjoyable. I particularly love assignments that are challenging and fruitful at the same time.

Fabulous ! It was such an amazing experience. After this course, I have learn so many new things which help me teach my student more effectively. Those fundamental principles of teaching English noticed in this course are quite substantial and practical for language teachers. They all should know about that.

This was a helpful introductory course! Enabled me to revisit my core values in teaching and feel validated that some of the methods I already use was the right way to do it all along. It's good to know that I was already headed in the right direction, and this course helped explain those methods succinctly.

Dr. Shane is one of the most entertaining and informative instructors I have ever had! I have been teaching research methods for years, but the skills I learned in this course are transferable to my specific field. The ability to take this course was an absolute privilege. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

Thank you to ASU for granting me a full financial aid. I was able to access the course for free and was able to learn more about the different techniques and strategies in language teaching. I enjoyed doing my assignments and would always look forward for peer-reviews. Thanks so much for this opportunity!

Es un buen curso, muy útil incluso si quieres aprender a hablar ingles, pues te dan las herramientas de aprendizaje, mismas que puedes utilizar contigo mismo.

Esto último a su vez, te da una consciencia de lo que tus profesores buscan enseñarte, y te ayuda a simpatizar con ellos y comprender más la clase.

i have finished the first specialization and certainly will continue for the next one , i send you this to express my profound thanks for the the people in charge of this amazing website , as well as to our professor Mr DIXON , a special thanks also to my colleagues for their reviews and precious advices.

The course is highly systematic and it equips you with ample theoretical knowledge on language teaching. It provides an excellent ground to proceed through the TESOL professional certificate. By the way, I really admire the teachers' pedagogy here. They're very engaging and clear with the course content.

I found this class challenging but certainly, with a bit of study and note-taking it was possible to get an excellent grade, and indeed to learn well.

I loved Dr. Dixon's lecturing style. He always models exactly the principles we are learning. I can't say how much I enjoyed the class.

Highly recommended

This course includes all the necessary base principals required for individuals seeking to initiate a career in the ESL industry. Dr. Dixon is an absolutely marvelous teacher who explains all the concepts very well. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in becoming a good English teacher.

I have taken a TEFL course previously and can confidently say that this course has taught me so much more in just the foundational principles. The teachers are engaging and have created thoughtful material. I have enjoyed all the lessons learned so far and look forward to the second part of the course.

Alhamdulillah! Absolutely amazing course! I am grateful to the teachers especially Dr. Shane Dixon. His words and expressions have motivated me so much. May Allah protect him. And thanks to the ASU team and Coursera! I have completed this course with financial aid. It is so much for me. Alhamdulillah.

I highly suggest this course to new teachers and who wants to become a teacher in the future. Course is so interesting and professors has a good technique to teach so while you taking a lesson you kind of unconsciously fall into their language, story, body language. Again highly recommend this course.

One of the most complete and interesting courses that I have taken in all my life, it gives you a different perspective of everything, not only in teaching English, and also it makes you reflect about your whole school background as teachers, students and remember those memorable experiences you have.

This course is everything that I needed to start my journey as a teacher!

Dr. Nixon is easy to understand, funny, and his sincerity reads through in each video :-)

Thank you for offering this course!

I feel more confident and prepared to continue studying and taking my TEFL now having taking this class.

A great course for English language teachers. I have learnt a lot of metaphors relating to English language learning vs language acquisition, practical suggestions and even resources like spaced repetion software that I ahve managed to download and use in my classes. I highly recommend this course!

This course was just amazing. The videos are didactic and great to understand. I am a native speaker of Portuguese and I am very happy to learn more about the English language and about the techniques I learned in this course that will be useful not only for my students, but also for my own learning.

This course is well-organized and clearly presented. I enjoyed working on the assignments and reviewing the submissions of other students. The material presented in the course is to the point so it is possible to move through the modules quickly. I was able to complete the course in just a few days.

My aim for taking this course was to know whether teaching language is suitable with me or not to choose for my career. After taking the course, I am definitely sure that this is my thing. The course was so interesting and helpful. Thank you very much for the great opportunity to learn this course!

The course is quite brief though it gives a lot of food for thoughts as it explores different aspects of teaching - from the techniques and tactics a teacher can use in daily life to the hard questions of burnout. Definitely recommend to anyone interested in teaching, especially when it comes to EFL

Thank you very much for the opportunity. At first, I was just interested in the certificate. As I study the course, I enjoyed the learning experience and the methods that were used. I want to apply them right away in real life. It's a privilege to learn from our online instructors. Again, thank you.

It was a good introduction to foundational principles of English teaching. Definitely the other courses in the certification need to be taken in order to get the full benefit of the information given. It really is meant to be a jumping off point to learn and implement other more teaching techniques.

Just the beginning now but a really great one !

Love the content, the teachers videos are really well made and explanatory.

I found the Coursera platform really well fabricated and intuitive.

Everything is set to give us the best chances to thoroughly learn and earn that awesome life changing license !
