Who is the Good English Teacher

[hairless17]

According to your experience in learning and teaching
How do you see the good teacher ?
please partcipate

[cute_angel]

Peace be upon you

That's really a good question which gonna help all teachers

I think as a futur teacher that if I want to succeed in my career I have to be as a friend not so severe and not so easy going

I have to bring always new things that will impress them and use topics that'll be interesting for them

and I don't know

[hairless17]

I may not agree with you
really , it is good to be friendly with pupils but not always and not with all kinds of pupils
sometimes it is very necessary to be severe
the second important thing is to bring fun to your teaching
and make your pupils love this ********

[smart]

actually,i made a research about the good teacher by making a questioinaire then i gave it to the student and the results was that the good teacher iswho knows how to deel with the students and use different ways by teaching them as using the visual aid and to attrac the students by the lesson and not to get boored and the teacher have to give his students a good impression by his knowledge and his clothes.
i hape that you will make use of these information.

thank you for the comment

[smart]

in fact i was writing so fast and i didnt pay attention to the mistakes thank you any way
and what do you think about the research

[cute_angel]

well I think eache teacher has his own way and style

I know that being so friendly will be bad especially with now a days students but there are some whom friendship is a way that pushes them to work better

[hairless17]

I agree with you
i want to tell you that we must not deal with all the pupils in the same way

[smart]

[exactly the good teacher should deal with each student with a way
because not all the students are the same]

[hairless17]

yes you are right
i am very proud to see your good level smart

[smart]

thank you hairless ..you are so kind
as being a student i prefere the teacher who pushes me and make me love his subject and give me extra information and make me research more to find new things
in my class my english teacher in each lesson gives us either a riddle or a proverb or tongue twister or famous expression and this really helped me in enhancing my english
thanks for the subject...

[hairless17]

if you don't mind
can I ask you the name of your teacher, please

[smart]

No I Dont Mind At All
His Name Is Hachelaf Ahmed Abdel Hakime
And Dont Forget My Other Teacher In The Middle School She Really Helped Me
Misses Ben Youcef

[hairless17]

ok
thank you

[smart]

you are welcome

[hairless17]

why do you consider your teacher as a good teacher ?

[restless]

Hello,
I am a novice to this forum and to forums in general,.. In fact, my student "smart" has invited me to this intellectual banquet.. so thanks so much .. I am so happy to be here.
I came across this big word "good teacher" or what I used to call the perfect teacher but to my humble opinion, no one is at that level... from the comments I read, I recognised that people tend to evaluate the teacher on how he could retain his class calm and make his pupils obey to discipline .. but this is not the only function of the teacher. This is more often than not the job of the policeman. From my short experience as a teacher, and from the accumulations of ELT literature. And most importantly, from the remarkable research of my pupils this year entitled "the profile of the good teacher" I think the good teacher is first and foremost a leader i.e. the good teacher is the one who fosters for closer relationships with his/ her students, the one who shows the way and gives the example, pays attention to discipline, and he who has the ability to deal effectively with discipline problems (some teachers try to retain control by shouting but it is not the way and I can give you an anecdote that happened to me this year. Once the problems start to arouse I suggested that they can form what I called "لجنة عقلاء" and it worked , and almost all the problems settled down afterwards ), besides cooperation with school employees and parents. The one who is ready to share and ready to listen leaving room for his pupils to share and to voice up whatever they have in their minds. In addition, Pedagogical competence is an other important factor. The professional teacher usestopics that will arouse interest or increase the students' commitment to learn the ********.Not to forget the declarative knowledge that he has to have. The traditional role of the teacher is as a resource person: "Teachers are proficient in English, are aware of the structure of the ********, and are able to explain it to learners"(?-). Not only knowing but knowing how: firstly, by fostering a classroom climate of trust, stress-free environment and a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.. because whenever there is stress, hatred to the subject matter none of the learning or teaching is going to take place. Another primordial quality is that of the manager: and that means aprofessional user of the means, uses and knows how to use enrichment materials(is familiar with technology-based resources). A manager of time, not loosing the slightest second. Choosing and providing the type of learning in class accordingly with students preferred styles and attitudes. Another quality is being reflective: reflects on his/ her teaching and re-assesses teaching practices. Teachers have to be sensitive and are always in search for the betterment. This entails another quality: Potential learner. Good teachers care for their self-development. They engage in every opportunity of in-service training . Yet other challenges we have to consider. In this changing environment teachers will have to seek for new ways of teaching. So he is also a problem solver: Coping with a changing pupil population. He has to innovate to confront the challenges of everyday teaching. We have to use our "own intuitive ability and experimental knowledge" to decide what works and what does not work.Not to forget that he is a professional evaluator, designing tests that are valid and reliable, and practical to administer and grade. And of course, he is a moral person when evaluating. Less important credential is the image: the image, the way he dresses and the way he speaks and I hope my student will talk about that quality more because they discussed it in details in class.
But we should perhaps do more as far as English ******** teaching is concerned (objective setting, goal achievement, decision making, problem solving, conflict solving, communication, commitment, responsibility, critique, providing autonomy… etc) all of which are essential skills that teachers need to grapple with all classroom difficulties. Especially in our region where foreign ********s are not a priority to our poor pupils. In so doing, teachers could successfully contribute to the shaping of ELT and the success of the pupils. Not only that but making the experience of teaching very exciting for our pupils first and for us possibly.
To sum it all: here is a quote from The Moroccan Teachers' Magazine:
"the role of the teacher is not only as that of an English teacher, but also as an educator, promoting and fostering the development of positive values, critical thinking and world knowledge"( M. T. association, 2002).

[أم بدر الدين]

according to me a good teacher must be and must do the following things.........

A great teacher Interacts with the child (physically, and mentally)
A great teacher gives affection to the pupils, makes them understand what emotion is.
A great teacher smiles to his/her pupils even when they screw him up.
A great teacher teaches not only **** book materials but also The truth that's happening outside. Practice balanced with theory.
A great teacher dedicates him/herself to the job. They made a commitment. Then they have to do it.
A great teacher understands that a child is not only a tiny bundle of joy that can cry, smile, laugh. He/she must understand that in front of him stands a true miracle of life.

[hairless17]

the good teacher and student

[أم بدر الدين]

the good student


To become a good student, you need to get motivated! Motivation can come from seeing the situation of many poor children around the world who are not lucky enough to get a proper education. Keep that in mind when you don't want to attend class or study at home. Another reason to get motivated to study is that you will enjoy a better quality of life as an educated person. You can go to educational websites, like this, and surf them with interest. You must not force yourself to study, this will make learning a chore and you'll not feel like even opening your books. You will have many academically good students in your courses. Try becoming friends with them (or encourage your current friends to be better students), and you'll be immersed in an academic environment which will help you feel motivated!
Above all, you need confidence! For that, we need to feel that we are working for ourselves, and not for others! Good luck!

[hairless17]

motivation is the secret of the good learning

[smart]

i love school sooooooo much
and iam glad and thanking my god for what i have
i do agree with you
every one should
believe in his self

[hairless17]

you are right smarty
it is the secret of success

[smart]

when you think that you cant do some thing you dont
but when you believe in your self you do it right and you be satisfied

[أم بدر الدين]

you are all right may GOD help both teachers and students to succeed and realise all their dreams.

[hairless17]

amen
it is a common aim
thanks

[smart]

amen
thanks malika

[أم بدر الدين]

not at all this is really what i want
because good teachers as well as performent students help all the muslims to be happy because they are doing the best work in the world..

[hairless17]

the prophet was sent a teacher
and all the muslims are learners

[أم بدر الدين]

You Are Right Sir Indeed The Prophet Is The Best Teacher If Only We Read And Learn By Heart His Lessons We Will Be The Best Nation On Earth.

[smart]

you are so right
our prophet is the best teacher

[hairless17]

thanks all
I am really so proud

[smart]

thanks all
I am really so proud

you are welcome sir

[hairless17]

let's move to a new topic

[smart]

do you suggest any topic

[hairless17]

how can a teacher make learning english interesting

[smart]

i will tell you sir
first the teacher needs to make his students love the subject and thats by showing the student that english is important in our world
second,the teacher have to use different ways in teaching like giving them riddles,tongue twisters;idioms and so on.......and that makes them feel that this subject is not booring
third,the teacher have to make his student search.....and search......and search,when the student search they can get a lot of information and feel happy and learn
finally,the teacher need to make his student speak english in the class room
waiting for your comments

[hairless17]

you will be a good teacher if you choose it

[smart]

i love teaching and i think that it is the most wonderful and nobel job ever
however,the student of these days make it booring and hard
and if i didnt get my dream maybe i will be a teacher,and why not

[*مريم*]

salam

in my opinion:the best teacher is the one who knows how to deal with students.......neither friendlly, nor angrelly......why?

because the teacher who deals with students as his friends will face a big problem later because most of them won't show

him respect that means their relation is not of teacher-student but that of friend -friend which is ----in my point of view----

forbiden in the field of teaching

he must be50/50 when dealing with students......in other words:to play with carrots and sticks....

[أم بدر الدين]

your opinion is really what happens with many teachers who show a great succes in the field of teaching....good luck

[hairless17]

welcome meriem among us
i really do agree with you
50/50 is the best way
thanks and we are waiting for more

[smart]

you are welcome sir
waiting to see new subjects and topics

[hairless17]

They will be soon

[smart]

Great topics sir
Thank you

[hairless17]

You re welcome
And there is more

[smart]

Sir can you suggest subject to discuss about it here

[hairless17]

Let's talk about the exams nowadays

[smart]

For me.............I cant say that the exams are difficult
Especially English it is not difficult this year
there is no difficult exams because who study hard find that the exams easy

[hairless17]

there are no difficult exams because who studies hard find that the exams are easy

[smart]

I wrote the sentence right in the first time then,I changed it
I should believe in my self

[hairless17]

Yes you should

[smart]

From now on I will sir
New subject plerase sir

[hairless17]

What about cheating in exams ? Can we discuss this subject ?1

[أم بدر الدين]

Cheating in examination is one of the things that threaten the society, for it urges the spread of falsehood and forms an attack against truth. It causes total chaos in the society and indicates that some people will have unjustified access to posts and honors.

- Gaining a degree or a certificate without being really qualified for that degree is a form of cheat, which is totally rejected and prohibited. This is based on the hadith that reads: “He who deceitfully shows that he has something which he really does not have is like a person who puts on garments that do not belong to him and claim that they are his.”

“It goes without saying that all kinds and forms of cheating are haram. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has made this clear in the hadith: “He who cheats us does not belong to us.” Any one who cheats really commits a sin and he who helps him in cheating also shares in the blame. It’s to be stressed that toughness of exams does not justify cheating, for examination is originally meant to distinguish the studious from the lazy; it’s to show how far one has exerted efforts in preparing for the test. It’s not logic, of course, to shower both the diligent and the indolent with accolade of merits. This is injustice. A sound mind never accepts such an unjust equation.

It becomes evident that cheating in exams is strictly prohibited in Islam. It’s the duty of the Muslim students to steer clear of all forms of cheat, deceit, and dishonesty. By doing so, Allah, Most High, will grant them high degrees, both in this world and the world to come.

May Allah guide us all to the straight path! 0

Almighty Allah knows best.

[hairless17]

You are right
It is our duty as muslims to fight cheating

But why did it become normal to cheat ? It has even become a right ?1

[أم بدر الدين]

It has become a right for stupid people
Do you know why??? 0
Cause they are too lazy and have things or dreams to realise by cheating '

[hairless17]

I think that the cheating has become organized

[smart]

Yes.........cheating has become a very big problem today because all the students are counting on cheating to succeed and get a job in real life
Really.......i feel sorry for them and they have new ways
Please sir can you try to stop it..........imagine some one works hard and the other plays all the time and we take the same mark!!!!!!!!!!!!i can't take it any more
They make me feel that iam working hard for nothing

[hairless17]

No you are not working hard for nothing
What is important is what you feel about yourself
How can you imagine the feeling of a cheater
Is he statisfied ? I don't think so

[أم بدر الدين]

They are not satisfied because they even don't know how to cheat they are just drawing what they see

[hairless17]

Welcome Moulai Omar
Of course Malika Ahlam is the best teacher
But be careful to mistakes
Don't you find the answer

And the important that we learnt how to speak english freely and not to be afraid of speaking it
Thank you sir for this conversation

Hoiw should a good teacher deal with bad students?0

[restless]

Hi there,
Long time no see... anyway I was overwhelmed in some projects..
I am very happy to see this forum always enlivened..
the best way to treat bad students is by cooperation with school personel and parents.. and trying to understand their social situation..
there are many parameters and considerations to concider before rashing into punishment of taking decision
thanks

[smart]

Welcome sir
Really long time no seen
I think that the teachers should be very straight with the bad student because they won't let the others learn
I don't know..........iam just student you teachers know better
What do you think????0

Why do a student hate a teacher ?0

[smart]

This is difficult a bit because i don't hate teachers for two reasons
If the teacher doesn't teach me well i will hate him
or if he took my marks and he didn't give them back to me

[hairless17]

A good opinion what about others

[أحلام جزائري]

salam...
I want to add something written by Dr. Bob Kizlik I've it read recently from the net...I hope readers especially teachers get benefits from it ...Mistakes New Teachers Often Make, So Don't
New teachers often -
Have not figured out what exactly they want and don't want - a root cause of much of what follw s.
Overpraise students for doing what is expected.
Don't know the difference between praise and acknowledgement and when each is appropriate.
Fail to do effective long-range and daily planning.
Spend too much time with one student or one group and not monitoring the entire class.
Begin a new activity before gaining the students' attention.
Talk too fast, and are sometimes shrill.
Use a voice level that is always either too loud or too soft.
Stand too long in one place (the feet of clay syndrome).
Sit too long while teaching (the posterior of clay syndrome).
Overemphasize the negative.
Do not require students to raise hands and be acknowledged before responding.
Are way too serious and not much fun.
Are way too much fun and not serious.
Fall into a rut by using the same teaching strategy or combination of strategies day after day.
Ineffectively use silence (wait time) after asking a ******* question.
Are ineffective when they use facial expressions and body ********.
Tend to talk to and interact with only half the class (usually their favorites, and usually on the right)..
Collect and return student papers before assigning students something to do.
Interrupt students while they are on task.
Use "SHHHH" as a means of quieting students (one of the most annoying and ineffective behaviors).
Overuse verbal efforts to stop inappropriate student behavior - talk alone accomplishes little.
Settle for less rather than demand more.
Use threats to control the class (short term, produces results; long term, backfires).
Use global praise inappropriately.
Use color meaninglessly, even to the point of distraction (I know you've seen this happen).
Verbally reprimand students across the classroom (get close and personal if possible).
Interact with only a "chosen few" students rather than spreading interactions around to all students.
Do not intervene quickly enough during inappropriate student behavior.
Do not learn and use student names in an effective way (kids pick up quickly on this and respond in kind).
Read student papers only for correct answers and not for process and student thinking.
Ask global questions that nobody likely will answer.
Fail to do appropriate comprehension checks to see if students understand the ******* as it is taught.
Use poorly worded, ambiguous questions.
Try to talk over student noise (never, ever, do this, because when you do, you lose and they win).
Are consistently inconsistent.
Will do anything to be liked by students.
Permit students to be inattentive to an educationally useful media presentation (this happens a lot).
Introduce too many topics simultaneously (usually the result of poor planning).
Sound egocentric (if you have to get your jollies from your students, there might be a problem).
Take too much time to give verbal directions for an activity (an inability to focus and explain effectively).
Take too much time for an activity (usually the result of poor planning).
Are nervous, uptight, and anxious (if this is persistent, you need help).
.Overuse punishment for classroom misbehavior - going to an extreme when other consequences work better.
cood luck for every one.......

Welcome Abdou
Feel at home
A very right point of view but I do not agree with you
like a native speaker

What is important is to give correct pronunciation even if it is not like native speakers

[smart]

I like my teacher to be like a native speaker.........but it is not possible always
The important thing is that the teacher shouldn't speak arabic at all in the class

[hairless17]

You are right Smart

How must a teacher deal with students in the first contact ?0

[bibbah]

if i may say
i think there is no good or bad teacher
no one thaught him how to be good or bad
he is as he thinks he is if he thinks he is good so be it for him
a good teacher needs to have a large amount of experience
he need to see his work from an outer point of view
as if he is watching himself in a movie which happens in a classroom around children
then, he can evaluate his work and correct his mistakes


this stays a point of view
it can be discussed

[slimane2222]

http://www.farrer.provo.edu/staff/resources/teacher.jpg

[*مريم*]

i'm not sure but i think i've participated before........this doesn't prevent me to add my point view twice:so i see that a good teacher must be a good person first.........i mean morally.......he has to deal with all the personalities of his students........he had to be patient and skillful and he should have a good background .....i mean a great knowledge of pedagogy and psychology of the student behaviours......in my own point of view........

good dealing my friend......it's so long!!!!!! we've not discussed.....

[noor hassenl]

Hello; miss smart .your english is so very good since you are astudent really i am satisfied to see such interrested student in english

[smart]

thanks my dear noor
that is so sweet of you
i want to talk about the best way to communicate with students so to stay away from problems

[walid63]

A good teacher is the one who does his/her work.......just to fullfill one's duty not more not less .

[smart]

I don't know i have seen a lot of teachers who got in so many problems coz they tried to work with certain students coz they are interested
Teaching is the most difficult job ever
One day this year my English teacher let me do a full lessons about indirect speech he knows that i can do it but it was so difficult

[زيدلون]

Dear freinds
The good teacher in lge teaching is the one who finds all the aids.I don't mean the visual or real situations but
the help.Please don't blame teachers"good or not good"In my opinion the whole responsiblity is upon the shoulders of the ministery of education.The imam chafii said"you want to be safe at a time you didn't go through the right way ie- the safe one - and you know that boats can't sail on sand"

[walid63]

As I previously stated ...........teachers differ as anything in this wide world..... what really matters is the outcome of this teacher's work....... A good one is who makes efforts and reaches acceptable resullts..... There is no phylosophy in here....you work hard you collect fruit of your sweat.....no sweet without sweat ....anything you take care of ,,,,,,,it gets better and flourishes..... even coping with people.......Just fulfill your duty.
I mean to hurt noone but to point out that it's experience that speaks.
Many teachers put the blame on the system, the administration,, the parents and they
simply forget all about themselves... I'm one of them...............All in all it's just a brick in the wall.............
