Study Notes
- High-quality teaching is essential for students' success, requiring teachers to provide solutions and strategies for diverse challenges in multilevel classes.
- A great teacher has personality traits and teaching styles that vary from person to person.
Qualities of a Great Teacher
- Rob Jenkins identifies good-naturedness, professionalism, enjoyment of the job, demanding yet kind, comfort in one's own skin, creativity, and making teaching look easy.
- Maria Orlando emphasizes respect for students, creating a sense of community, warmth, accessibility, enthusiasm, care, high expectations, a love of learning, inspiration, leadership, flexibility, collaboration, and professionalism.
Teacher's Personality and Relationship with Students
- Passion, friendliness, flexibility, and humor are essential for fostering comfortable and enjoyable lessons.
- An effective teacher is compassionate, concerned, and willing to collaborate with colleagues.
- "Effective teacher personality is a blend between who we really are and who we are as a teacher".
- Depending on the context, different qualities are highlighted in a good teacher. For instance, those working with younger learners need to be caring and supportive.
Teacher Knowledge
- Teachers need expertise in language systems, including grammar, vocabulary, phonology, and discourse.
- Successful teaching combines personal traits with professional knowledge and skills.
- English teachers should speak English well, adapting methods to students' needs, having near-native level skills.
Adaptability
- Teachers must be able to interpret students' responses and adjust their teaching accordingly.
- Adapting lesson plans, pacing, procedure, and grouping is important for achieving objectives.
Rapport
- Establishing and maintaining rapport involves showing respect, listening to students, and having a sense of humor.
- Rapport creates a sense of lively engagement and happiness in the classroom.
Teacher Roles
- Teachers adopt different roles in the classroom, including controller, prompter, assessor, resource, and language tutor.
- The ability to perform these roles effectively is crucial for positive relationships with students.
Teacher Skills
- Managing classes involves organizing the classroom, seating arrangements, and rules.
- Effective listening is a critical teacher skill, especially when students ask questions or engage in oral tasks.
- Teachers should consider when and how to correct students' language errors.
- Teachers control classroom noise using the right voice volume and tone. Also important are gestures and facial expressions, especially in low-level classes to support understanding.
- Teachers should be aware of their body language to reinforce the meaning behind their word.
- Using graded target language and/or learners' L1 can aid classroom management as well.
Monitoring Learning
-
Classroom arrangements facilitate interaction and reflect teaching approach.
-
Traditional sitting in rows is about passive information consumption.
-
Classroom arrangement options:
-
Tipped U
-
Large table
-
Curved rows
-
Diagonal rows
-
No tables
-

-
Grouping in the EFL classroom includes whole class, group work, pair work, and individual work
Grouping
- Whole-class work is suitable for warm-ups, instructions, and establishing rapport.
- Group and pair activities foster collaboration on tasks like role-play, discussions, and presentations.
- Group work helps students avoid pressure and work at their own pace.
Teacher Interventions
- Teacher interventions, like supportiveness, are aimed at managing the learning process.
- Being supportive involves positive language attitudes, reducing anxiety, and affirming achievements.
- Establishing teacher authority requires students' acceptance and respect.
- Giving clear and simple instructions, using target language, and providing visual support aids comprehension.
- Teachers must prepare their explanations to support a task being efficiently completed.
- Eliciting ideas involves drawing things from students through questions, encouraging greater involvement and discovery.
- Questioning encourages speaking and involvement, categorized as open, closed, real, check, and concept questions.
- Checking learning can involve drawings, graphic organizers, or traditional assessments.
- Being catalytic means motivating students and the teacher summarizing text.
- Other interventions include structuring and signposting, giving encouragement, giving difficult messages, permitting emotion, being unhelpful, and vanishing.
Promoting Learner Autonomy
- It is defined as "the growing number of studied on learning autonomy"
- Learner autonomy relates to 'learning to learn'
- Autonomous learning assumes that the learner has developed learning strategies, and the development of such strategies is the aim of learner training.
- Encourage student's extra curriculars
- It can also be seen as self-directed learning that is bound by institutional restrictions.
- Mastering a language skill requires repetition and reflection on learning. Learning is also dependent on creativity and autonomy.
Self-instruction
- A process for managing what is learned
- Students work without direct supervision
- Researchers make a distinction between autonomy and semi-autonomy
- This includes making a record forms to reflect on their work after a task is completed.
- Teachers should be team members, motivators, and empowerers.
Scaffolding and Autonomy
-
Five principles to achieve balance:
- Problem-solving group projects
- Visual mapping of project timelines
- Schedule consultations amongst all peer
- Teacher act as a expert who can help the students
- Learning occurs when cycles of a practice and reflection occurr, not just quick mastery of concepts
-
Students become dependent on the instruction and require that they receive support
-
Task should be in groups or team activities
-
Collaborative and out-of-school activities are great for helping students.
-
There is both proactive and reactive autonomy
Teacher Autonomy
- To develop the Learner autonomy, the teacher must have high level of autonomy in their own respective learning careers.
