Online TEFL certificates
Just could not think of an interesting title to this post, and as the limitations of this method of teacher training is obvious to most people not financially tied up in the teacher training busines, neither do I think I have anything particularly original or shocking to say on this often discussed point:
Unless it is a qualification to be an online teacher, it is always better to have face to face observed teaching practice as part of your course. This is not possible with a 100% online course; therefore it cannot be as good as, for example, the CELTA- end of story. Whether an online course could offer better value for money, be more convenient or even be the only available option for some people are the only debatable points.
Can anyone argue with that?
