TEACHING IS NOT EASY BUT IT IS VERY INTERESTING JOB

TEACHING IS NOT EASY BUT IT IS VERY INTERESTING JOB

As we all know, teaching is not easy but it is very interesting job. It may seem easy to study at a University and prepare yourself to be a teacher, but when it is the time to practice it may not look as easy as it was expected. There are some important things you should keep as a good teacher.

Well, the most thing you should have to be a successful teacher is to know your students and their needs well. Your classes have many students with different backgrounds, education knowledge, learning strategies, needs, and may be culture. It is very important to know your students before starting teach. If you teach grammar and structure, for example, ask your students to write a short paragraph about themselves. You can collect their work and check it later. Their work will tell you their background and knowledge of grammar rules and sentence structure. So, getting an idea about the entire needs of your students is the most important factor in being a professional teacher.

Professional teachers enjoy their job and vary their roles in the class. You may want to be the person who provides the students information. But besides being information deliverer, you can be a close friend of them, a parent, and a promoter. You can enjoy and vary your role in the class in a way that interests both, your students and you. You never can better when you enjoy your job. Creating a relaxed environment helps you successfully cover a great amount of the content. Besides, you will realize better participation of your students with time and therefore learning will happen.

One thing more, students have different learning strategies, so successful and professional teachers vary their teaching techniques. Using the same method every time does not help reaching the goal. Some of your students can not react to a specific method but they can do much better with another one. From the other hand, the used method can be suitable for a specific content of a lesson but not for another one. Using the GTM or Direct method, for example, can be good in a lesson but not in another. Some students may react to TPR while others may not show clear reaction or great interest in the method. Choosing good activities or practice tasks is another factor here. Think carefully how you can assess your students new language and set the best activity for that. You can use pair or group work one time, and oral discussion other time, and many more activities.

Professional teachers

Professional teachers:

To sum up, being a good and successful teacher is not a talent, but a skill you learn and acquire through time. The list bellow shows the most important features of professional teachers:

Professional teachers:

1.      Know their students well.

Students are not only intellectual but also social and emotional beings, and all these dimensions interact to impact learning and performance.

2.      A Professional teacher respects students.
