In vs At - English Grammar - Teaching Tips

This video covers the difference between 'in' and 'at' when used to indicate a location. They often cause confusion for English learners as they both refer to a location in a sentence. However, 'in', as a preposition of place, is usually used to talk about the position of someone or something inside large places such as countries, continents, big cities and similar, while 'at' is used to refer the position of someone or something inside small and unimportant places such as villages or small towns.

Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course.

This unit focused on some of the challenges that may arise when teaching special groups as well as some techniques to teach these groups more effectively. I probably found this unit one of if no the most useful so far because I teach elementary school students and many of the problems mentioned in this unit are things I've dealt with first-hand.I feel like I have learned about how to teach vocabulary and grammar structures. It can be difficult to know which ones to teach and when but with this lesson I now feel confident that I will be able to prepare a lesson suitable for the group that I am teaching. It further enhanced my understanding of the ESA structure (Engage, Study, Activate).
