  1. How to be a good teacher

  2. What makes a good teacher?(The character and personality) • They should make their lessons interesting so you don’t fall asleep in them. • A teacher must love her job. If she really enjoys her job that’ll make the lessons more interesting. • I like the teacher who has his own personality and doesn’t hide it from the students so that he is not only a teacher but a person as well – and it comes through the lessons.

  3. What makes a good teacher?(The character and personality) • I like a teacher who has lots of knowledge, not only of his subject. • A good teacher is an entertainer and I mean that in a positive sense, not a negative sense.

  4. What makes a good teacher?(The relationship between the teacher and the students) • It’s important that you can talk to the teacher when you have problems and you don’t get along with the subject. • A good teacher is ... somebody who has an affinity with the students that they’re teaching. • A good teacher should try and draw out the quiet ones and control the more talkative ones.

  5. What makes a good teacher?(The relationship between the teacher and the students) • He should be able to correct people without offending them. • A good teacher is ... someone who helps rather than shouts. • A good teacher is ... someone who knows our names.

  6. What makes a good teacher? • Class management skills... • Good teacherscare more about their students’ learning than they do about their own teaching.

  7. How should teachers give instructions? • Giving instructions is very important. WHY? • Instructions must be kept as simple as possible. • They must be logical. • Checking instructions is also very important. HOW?

  8. Who should talk in class? • TTT (Teacher Talking Time) • STT (Student Talking Time) • Teachers should get their students to speak. • A good teacher maximizes STT and minimizes TTT. • Benefits of good TTT? • The best lessons are ones where STT is maximized, but where at appropriate moments during the lesson the teacher is not afraid to summarize what is happening, tell a story, etc. GOOD TEACHERS GET THE BALANCE RIGHT!

  9. What are the best kinds of lesson? • Student boredom; deadening predictability of much classroom time • Teachers need to BREAK RULES. • Need for SURPRISE and VARIETY. • Students like a certain amount of predictability. • Good teachers find a balance between predictable safety and unexpected variety.

  10. How important is it to follow a pre-arranged plan? • VARIETY and FLEXIBILITY --- very important in planning lessons. • Teachers need to be flexible in order to cope with unexpected situations. • GOOD TEACHERS ARE FLEXIBLE...

  11. CONCLUSIONS • Qualities of good teachers • Teacher language • TTT vs.STT • Variety • Flexibility
