I learnt a series of things in this unit. One being what qualities make a good teacher, someone whos is patient and kind, passionate, good at motivating, noticing weakness, and outgoing and lively. I learnt the roles of a teacher that are important, for example being organized, and being a resource for your students. You also learn in this unit about what makes a good learner, someone who's actually interested in the course, not afraid to ask question, and is able to accept error and learn from it. I now know about the difference between young and adult learners, how the classroom energy is different as well as the material and the class discussion. The level of language ability are also taught in this unit. Beginner, Elementary, Low/Pre-intermediate, Intermediate, Upper Intermediate, and Advanced, which all have different classifications. Overall I learnt that as a teacher it is important to learn when to act as each role to run a successful class, what makes a good student, and what motivated them to learn the English language, as well as the different levels of language and classifications of age when it comes to your learners, first, early teens. Second, preteens 8-12, and third are the very young learners, 7yrs or less.
