Qualities of an ideal language teacher.

Qualities of an ideal language teacher.

Everybody wants to have an ideal teacher while studying somewhere. However, when it comes to a definition of a perfect teacher it appears to be not so easy to give it, because different teachers are successful in different ways. For example, some are easy-going and charismatic, while others are quiet and not very sociable but in spite of the difference in personalities, all good teachers have some common qualities that help them to become the best ones.

First of all, perfect teachers must be knowledgeable. They must know a lot about the subject they are teaching and be able to help students understand, by explaining concepts thoroughly and being able to answer all questions accurately.
This characteristic is very important and seems to be a vital element contributing to the development of students.

Then, good teachers should be motivating. Good teachers always succeed in inspiring their students both in class and out of class. Teachers have the power to inspire, through their attitudes, actions, and even through the lessons or activities they engage students in.

Patience is also one of the most important qualities. Teachers should remember that every student is different. For instance, some are different in backgrounds, cultures, and believes. Even children from the same culture still differ in personalities, which will reflect their learning abilities. So good teachers must understand that and take it into consideration.

In conclusion I would like to say that the above-mentioned characteristics are the most important ones, though there are some other necessary qualities, such as creativity, enthusiasm, sense of humor and others. Being a teacher is a hard job, but being a dedicated teacher requires more outstanding personalities. Without being knowledgeable, motivating, and patient, one can't be a good teacher.

Good morning Phoebe. Personally I find the range of essays very boring & repetitive.

How about, "comparisons between a writer writing alone, or in tandem with another."

Describe the advantages and disadvantages.

OR;

Who has been the one person in your life who has inspired and encouraged you?

Kitos.

Dear Mr.Kitos,

Thanks a lot for giving me an oppurtunity to write a story with you..........

so I'm feeling uneasy.

Thanks once again

Hema

Good morning Hema. I just know that you are good enough enough to write a short story. I've started you off here....... please, do continue. Only you know the rest.

The first day that Hema started senior school she made up her mind that she would no longer be satisfied to just progress slowly with the other girls and end up being an housewife.

She just knew that she was meant for better things, and so she set out to become a star pupil.

Each night at home she would sit in her little bedroom, and in spite of the many interruptions from her brothers and sisters, she would diligently review the work that she had done at school that day.

Her Father laughed at her efforts and said she should concentrate on learning to cook like her Mother, and learn how to keep the house clean and tidy.

She loved her Father in spite of his attempts to undermine her intentions, and did indeed learn to do the household duties as well as her Mother, but she never gave up on her studies.

Her teachers were really surprised and delighted as to how well she was responding to their teachings, and Hema slowly increased her position in the class in all subjects.

Over to you Hema................ Kitos. :)
