A good teacher is enthusiastic, patient, punctual, engaging, and creative. While not harsh or insensitive to student's fear of failure or cultural differences, a good teacher will equally assess all their students' progress and correct when needed, for the benefit of the students' understanding of English. Engaging teachers build better and quicker rapport with their students and build motivation. Conversely, a good leaner is motivated to learn and happy to be there; they will ask the teacher, or students during discussion time, questions when unsure or curious; they understand how they learn best; they are willing to practice and experiment with what they're learning; and they are humble enough to accept correction. For both parties, positive character qualities will get them the furthest in the classroom and outside of it. Teachers will employ different methods inside the classroom, such as tutoring, correction, resource/prompting, facilitating discussion and activity, monitoring, organising the classroom, and managing or presenting information (the classic approach). In order to maintain motivation and engagement, and to best help all their students cross whatever bridge is in front of them, they need to switch methods constantly. Students grow through six levels when learning English: 1. Beginners (zero to basic language, albeit hard to express or remember) 2. Elementary (some basic sentence structures and very limited subject range and vocab) 3. Pre-intermediate (able to communicate a range of topics with inaccurate grammar or vocabulary in a solid sentence structure) 4. Intermediate (able to communicate on a wide range of topics, but with some inaccuracy) 5. Upper intermediate (able to communicate on nearly any subject with some inaccuracy) 6. Advanced (able to communicate fluently on any subject and studying the finer arts of the the language)
