Greetings!
Please I can neither find ‘my portfolio’ nor ‘my courses’. Hence, I have been unable to continue and complete my course. How do I go about this please?

Why does it say that the course ended today if four weeks have not passed yet?

Hi
I think I have enrolled in the course but I don't have access to it. I would be happy if you could help.

Hi MZ,

You seem to be enrolled on the course, and you should be able to access it through the MY PORTFOLIO tab when you log into teaching English. Hover over that tab and choose MY COURSES - this will take you to the course site. If you can't see My Portfolio, log out and back in again.

Hope you access and enjoy the course!

I cannot access my courses on my system although I'm logged in. When I click on my courses it takes me to my portfolio. It stopped working for me in the middle of the course. Kindly look into it!

Hi Laraibtaj,

Your account seems to be working okay when I look at it. Can you try logging out of TeachingEnglish and logging back in, or clearing cache if that doesn't work? These tips usually help access problems. Hope you get back in and complete the course!

I registered for the course but missed out on the videos on the stated dates. Is it too late for me or can I still access the course? Are there any notes or modules in pdf that I can read through?

Hi Saphira,

If you can still get into your course account you should be able to access course guidance notes, which have links to materials. Also if you joined the facebook group associated with the course, there will be a course summary document posted there ( not yet, but keep your eyes out!).

I have registered with the teaching grammar course but after clicking on my account I can't see my portfolio anywhere. I'm using a mobile phone.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Mon, 09/12/2022 - 20:23

Hi Peter_B,

These are the 'standard' mobile instructions on the site (you may have seen them and tried them already). In general, if you can't see your Portfolio it also helps to log out of all devices you are logged into the teachingEnglish page on.... then log back in on the device you will use. If this doesn't work, get back in touch and we'll try to get to where you can access it.

Access on mobile

  1. Log in to your free TeachingEnglish account.
  2. Tap the three horizontal lines next to the home button to open the menu.
  3. Below ‘Home’, you will see MY PORTFOLIO and ‘My courses’ below. Tap on MY PORTFOLIO if you don’t see ‘My courses’.
  4. Tap on ‘My courses’ to access your training.

Hello, I have started reading and am enjoying it. I did not know the labels to my methods, but it was heartening to know that I have been doing the right thing instinctively. I liked the reference section and the articles from edutopia.
Flipped learning, noticing etc are what I have been doing as per the grade of the students.

Hello, i have created my account, a couple of weeks ago.
I thought i registered for this "how to teach grammar" course.
I do not see the 'How do I register for this course?' or 'This course is not available for registration' option/s at the top of the page.
It all seems inaccessible?
