Successful Language Teacher

A successful language teacher must have some characteristics. How to improve the weaknesses and use the strengths to help the students to learn English well and efficiently? I realized that I always to notice the students who has abundant production and good performance instead of the competence and comprehension of the student who has a lot of inhibitions. Therefore, I think a teacher has to help them to reduce the peer pressure, encourage to speak out English and should be patient to instruct the students who far behind their schoolwork. Besides, I found that I often praise the student who has the learning characteristics of extroversion instead of introversion.

Of course,
the duty of teacher has to understand the student's aptitude in order to help them to find out their own learning and cultivate the learning strategies. Consequently, we have to cultivate the intrinsic motivation rather than extrinsic motivation to learn English. In the process of learning English, the teacher has to put the grammar systematically and think what methodology is the best that present the rules to the students which won't interfere with their native language. The teacher shouldn't repetition the pedagogy if the student doesn't understand what are you talking about. That is to say, a good language teacher must say something in the other words to explain the knowledge of English when the listener is confusing the content of lecture.


The comment comes from the professor:
Hi, dear:
For the reason of being a qualified teacher, organization is very important in order to present the ideas of yours well. Why not focus on three different aspects (the professional knowledge that a successful language teacher needs, the characteristics like personalities or EQ, and the ability of classroom management) and make a kind of clear and brief list that makes reader can catch the main points quickly because it is not essay writing, just for discussion.
