This course was review for me - but I wish it had been the first way I was introduced to planning lessons. The step by step process was incredibly helpful and the final project useful. Thanks!

I am so grateful for this opportunity. It is an amazing course. Interesting way of presenting the information and assessment. The most creative teachers, every time something new. It is so inspiring.

I recently completed the "Teach English Now! Lesson Design and Assessment" course, and I must say that it was a fantastic experience. The course was very well-structured, and the content was highly informative and engaging. I found the course to be incredibly useful in providing me with the necessary knowledge and skills to create effective lesson plans and assessments.

The course covered a range of topics, including identifying learners' needs, developing learning objectives, creating lesson plans, selecting appropriate teaching materials, and designing effective assessments. I learned a lot about the different types of assessment and their purposes, such as formative assessment, summative assessment, diagnostic assessment, and self-assessment. I also gained valuable insights into the principles of effective lesson planning and how to create engaging and interactive learning activities.

One of the highlights of the course was the opportunity to practice designing lesson plans and assessments using real-world scenarios. The assignments and peer-reviewed assessments helped me to apply the knowledge and skills learned in the course in a practical and meaningful way.

Also, thank you to the brilliant instructors of the "Teach English Now! Lesson Design and Assessment" course for their invaluable contribution to my professional development.

Overall, I highly recommend the "Teach English Now! Lesson Design and Assessment" course to anyone interested in teaching English as a foreign language. The course is well-organized, informative, and interactive, and provides a solid foundation for effective teaching and assessment practices.

One of the most beneficial and enjoyable courses I have taken on the Coursera platform is incredible. This course's materials are extremely good. Furthermore, professors' explanations and approaches are enjoyable, simple, and phenomenal. This course taught me a lot about lesson plan design and objectives, particularly from the three teachermodels provided; about giving models, different types of assessment, and how learners are evaluated...

Thank you to the University of Arizona for offering this second course in the TESOL certificate programme and for allowing me to study there, as well as the Coursera platform for providing us with this scientific momentum. I sincerely thank the professors for their hard work with us and for the valuable scientific material presented in this course.

Course is well-organized and easy to navigate. I especially appreciate the instructor(s) humorous attitude as a way of communicating teaching methods. I also like how enthusiastic they are with each other, it's rather entertaining. I like the assignments, at first I didn't enjoy the peer review, but realized I could read some really great work from students all over the world. I also learned how to give feedback in a very constructive way. The intro. to the next course put this course into perspective. I'm coming back after several years break. I am more motivated now and look forward to the next steps after this course.

Wonderful course. I have lectured in Art, Art History and Jewelry History (with a Masters Degree in Fine Art, but without a formal teaching qualification). I have gained so much knowledge from this course and it has confirmed that my instincts with regard to teaching methods and lesson planning have not been too far off the mark. I was so fearful about teaching English when I started this course but it has boosted my confidence, my creativity, and my motivation to continue.

Many grateful thanks to the course lecturers/facilitators, to ASU and to Coursera for a really inspiring course.

A wonderful learning experience! The content presentation and the teachers made this course easy to digest. I took a small course regarding teaching and translation before during university and making a lesson plan during that course made me give up the possibility of becoming a language teacher. After I graduated and has been working for a few years, I decided to give myself another chance to teach and I found this online TESOL. Making a lesson plan had been something I'm afraid I can't overcome and here I'm accomplishing this course and liking lesson planning.

I really enjoyed being guided through this step-by-step process of developing a lesson plan like this. & see it evolve infront of your eyes. It is actually fun to then fill out the form. I never enjoyed filling out forms before. I am finding this amature acting distractive since acting is totally different these days. It serves no purpose here. Please take out this violent street language at the end where Dr. Dixon reacts to his collegue & says, did she slash my tires now in the parking lot? This is a university class and not a street environment.

Honestly, these certification courses I have completed through ASU have taught me more in the past 4 courses, than my university has taught me in the past year. During my semester break, I have been spending my time doing each of these courses and it has been so fun and so refreshing I do not even notice the time passing by from everything I have learned. I cannot recommend this enough to anyone who wants to learn about teaching even if you do not plan on teaching abroad. The information here is invaluable. If I could give this more stars, I would.

Another great course that's taught me so much about teaching English as a second or foreign language. Being a native English speaker, I'd think to myself, "how hard can teaching English really be?" It's not that it's hard per se, it's that there needs to be guardrails and techniques in place so that learning English for the student is like being handed a nicely sliced piece of delicious cake! This course gave me a lot of tools, tips, and techniques to make teaching English make sense.

I learned a lot in this course!! I knew that my teaching was good but I didn't realise that I could make it better by making minor changes. I also didn't realise that I was doing some of the things suggested in this course. It's a relief to know that I've been doing certain things right and not just hoping that I was doing okay simply because there had been no bad feedback. Through this, I can better plan my lesson and no longer believe it is sheer luck my students are learning.

It is very nice to write here again. The course was very clear explanied , tasks were interesting. Here,in my country, we are teaching curriculum but I have never understood it clearly. Thanks to our teachers I began to understand it well after the course "Lesson design and assessment".I will try hard till the end ,Inshallah. Thank to all teachers Dr.Shane Dixon, Dr. Justin Shewell and Jessica Cinco. And also Coursera that gives us a chance to enroll such great courses🌹🙂

Taking Teach English Now! Lesson Design and Assessment course, this is another step for succuess! The course appeared to be practical and fruitful for me. With taking the course I felt more confident when planning and conducting lessons. We know, that all learned knowledge before at university, has tendency to vanish, become obsolete. Thus, the coursera course is something special for me, that provides substantial set of skills, recalls knowledge. They are priceless!

Actually, I started my career as a language teacher incidentally because my field was only about the English language, not pedagogy. I had to admit that I felt so confused for the first few months when I saw other colleagues doing many things like lesson plans, observations, curriculum, etc. These courses are significantly useful for a newbie like me. It is so adaptable and flexible that I can learn and finish the course anywhere anytime.

This course is nothing short of an eye-opener even for an experienced teacher. Paying complete attention to everything being taught here is sure to make you a better teacher. Most teachers are simply unaware of what it would take to become more effective at teaching. Well, here are a ton of things you'll get to learn. The presenters on this course, Dr. Shane Dixon and Ms. Cinto are truly top-notch! Thanks for the opportunity to learn!

In my case knowledge comes after the actual experience teaching based on the latest TESOL studies, where I could polish my own lessons and get the gist of what I am to instruct to perform and let my students learn with the best efficiency. This course is the reinforcement of my practical skills and fully answers all of my questions. I am enjoying it and looking forward to become a certified professional. It is really fun to study!

The course is very practise-oriented and teaches you how to create your own lesson plan from scratch. Considering that nowadays we have got lots of different materials available, it might give us an excuse of using the plans already introduced by the books. However, even if you follow any book precisely, this course is vital to understand why, how and what to do during the lesson even if everything is planed for you.

I am going through a medical condition which left me without my voice and the possibility to keep on working as an EFL teacher online.....but Thanks to this course and the amazing professors I have had ...all this adds one more grain of sand, gives me more strength, will, motivation, power to keep on focusing on the future and to simply plan ahead. Thanks to Dr. Dixon and educator Jessica Cinco for this course.-

It is quite an exciting path of learning, how many details to capture and motivate students to enjoy learning a language, the whole process from the clear Objectives to the Evaluation is very well specified and explained in this course, it is really a pleasure to study to be better teachers, better transmitters of knowledge and captivating people who learn a language.I can't wait to start my next course #4

Skills I've learned in this course (to lesson plan and assess students) are applicable for ESL or ANY other subject! I was teaching English composition in a local community college while taking this course and found that it overlapped with what I was teaching currently--even though it was tailored to an ESL classroom. Lesson planning and assessing is needed regardless what you teach. Super helpful!

My name is Saule. I am from Kazakhstan. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all organizers, teachers and the whole staff of Arizona State University. Thank you so much! I really enjoyed your course. It was very useful for lesson designing and it was fun.

I am so grateful to all our teachers who did their best teaching us how to make our lessons effective for learners' comprehension.

I think this course was much more than i expected, it provided me with clear instruction, yet i felt very comfortable to develop my own ideas. It is not only useful to lesson design, but to understand how my learning process really works. I´m looking forward with excitement for the capstone project, and then the next course. Thank you to all the people involved in making this course happen :)

That is the most helpful course. Lesson plan designing is taught part by part and additional materials are provided. You do not only watch the lessons but also have to write your lesson plan along the course. If you have any difficulty, just go to the discussion board and get help from your classmates and mentors. I am so grateful to Amazon University team and especially to Dr.Shane Dixon.

That was an excellent journey that I did and had much fun. Thank you all who gıve their great effort. By your directions I really catch what I missed till now in my teachership. I mostly liked your judgement about three teacters' lesson plan. It gave me a lot of knacks. You are really a great and helpful team that help us all over the world to learn how to teach better.

I Cant thank enough.

I'm very grateful to Arizona State University and its genious professors for providing such a wonderful experience. The course gave me a clear explanation of the most efficient ways of lesson planning which is a foundation of successful teaching. Moreover, it was done in an amazing and creative manner. This course inspires me to become as enthusiastic about teaching as the professors.
