I just completed 27% (=32.4 hours) of the 120-hour TEFL course in… 2.5 hours.
It’s basically just reading a book (written veeeery simply, like, for people who failed high school) and answering some questions that are either 100% obvious or that use the same exact wording they used in the book chapter. The only problem is their wording is counter-intuitive or vague sometimes on the quizzes, which means you get questions wrong because your “common sense” understanding of the question is making you forget what they “literally” said in the book chapter. I'm a relatively slow reader so anyone faster than me would be even faster.
Anyway it's way easier than I expected and with any luck I'll actually finish TOMORROW! I'm copying down all their sample lesson plans (which are full of flaws btw — stuff like, they keep suggesting to make things into contests, but the students who lose the contests will feel bad) and general lesson plan notes because the "final assignment" is to write one up so yeaaaah I'll just copy one of theirs.
