This course is an excellent choice for anyone interested in teaching ESL. Weekly Lessons/Modules are well-planned. Videos were informative and enjoyable. The instructor, Emilia, was wonderful!

Wonderful course! I felt great going through evidence based teaching methods and the pleasing demeanor of Emilia. The fictional video simulations were well choreographed. Overall, I loved it.

The course would've been better had there been more samples of what online lessons for different macroskills at various levels (of English) looked like. Also, a list of resources (e.g. where to find authentic listening or reading materials) would've been very helpful. Finally, there could've been at least a module spent on teaching academic English online. On the technical side, there were errors with how one of the (earlier) quizzes was set up (as noted in the Discussion Forum).

This course covers the theory of teaching a foreign language, it does not have specific information about teaching online. While the information is very useful if you want to become an ESL teacher, the 'teaching online' in the title is misleading. I though this course will recommend different resources one may need while teaching online or something in this line.

It was a nice course, but I didn't feel sufficiently challenged by the content. I also wish the assignments were more engaging. Simply doing tests and posting comments was not enough for me. Peer assessment would be beneficial.

There is a lot of relevant information and interesting examples about language acquisition, error correction and task-based instruction, but it might be a little basic for an experienced teacher.

I expected to learn more techniques and activities in teaching English online, to be honest. An average MOOC.

To many pointless interviews with teachers. To many pop up questions kiling the flow.

Be careful. This is NOT part of the TESOL certificate program.

I really like the course materials. However, I am displeased with the fact that I wasn't given a certificate of completion even after paying under financial aid.

Awful course. I have some experience in ESL instruction and wanted to take this because I would like to start teaching online. Most of the video content seems bizarrely intended for ESL students and the last straw was when there was a glaring spelling error on the first quiz. This lady is insane.

The descriptions and definitions were not precise. It was difficult to decipher what they mean. The actor who was a world traveler didn't read his lines well and didn't look the part of a world traveler.
