Simply amazing. Loved every single minute of it. I feel myself a much better teacher, I’ve learnt how to see resources to give a better class as well as offer my students better practices of learning.

A great course! It is a well planned and goes light taking into consideration that the learners work as teachers. I have become a great fan of Dr. Dixon and hope to learn more in the modules to come.

I am very grateful for creating this course. It helped me to broaden my understanding of teaching process, to find out new techniques and methods and to get inspiration and motivation. I can't wait getting my students "out of the classroom door":)

This course has taught me a lot. The teachers used many teaching techniques that would be highly beneficial for ESL students. Both the tasks and the practice tests, which test our ability to remember the material from each class, are interesting.

I had taken several courses on the basic principles of English language teaching. Foundatioinal Principles made clear a lot of concepts I had only partly understood in the past. I can recommend this course to both novice and experienced teachers.

This course was amazing! I learned a lot. Dr. Shane Dixon's lectures were amazing. His explanations through metaphors and real-life examples were on point. I highly recommend this course to any teacher who wants to improve their teaching skills.

While a bit easy (I mean it's an intro and material is peer-reviewed, not graded by professors), it is very informative and captivating. A lot of fun to interact with others and be introduced in an easy way to quite serious and complex material.

As an audio and visual learner, this course is very effective for me because they have videos aside from the reading materials and quizzes. The teaching strategies ASU coaches have taught me are very practical. I am excited to use it very soon.

This course is necessary for any English teacher. It is distinguished because it depends mainly on videos in presenting materials. The language of the pesenters is clear and is convenient for learners with competence of English equals B1 or B2.

Great course content, professors and videos. The tests were also very objective and I liked the fact that there were many of them, as online students we do need lots of feedback and the tests provided that.
Thanks, I really enjoyed the course.
