And it is important to perceive as accurately as...  [Read more]

Thus, feedback is crucial and necessary for a student's growth, but too much of it and an overt criticism on their work may cause a lasting dependent relationship on the teacher. The idea of not being able to do it alone defeats the purpose of learning. In order to asses a student's level, I need to give...  [Read more]

The teacher must supplement the use of a text book with engaging and fun learning activities that may be more topical that the current text book in use. If a teacher thinks of a new way to teach a concept, she should be free to carry it out.

Group Dynamics I have always been fascinated by social dynamics and how they affect groups in personal and professional contexts. A teacher must be constantly aware of group dynamics while teaching. The teacher is not, however, merely exporting language information-grammatical structures, vocabulary, etc-but also acts in a role model capacity. This translates into how the teacher presents materials and engages the class. While researching for this essay, I stumbled across an article titled, Teacher Identity as Pedagogy: Towards a Field-Internal Conceptualisation in Bilingual and Second Language Education. The article explores using the teacher’s personal identity as a ‘field-internal’ teaching tool, as a way to teach students a language, but also excite collaborative skills in...  [Read more]
