Given the information from Unit 1: Teachers and Learners, I have learned the characteristics of a good teacher and a good learner. A teacher has various roles in the classroom, ranging from a manager to a participant. These different roles change swiftly depending on the classroom activities, learners' age, and language proficiency level of the students themselves. A good teacher should be aware of him or herself and the classroom context so as to gauge the role s/he must be in. Likewise, a good learner possess specific characteristics. A good learner should be motivated, curious, and advocate for his or her own learning. However, a good teacher cares about the learning of their students and it is their job to foster this kind of positive learning environment. As such, the teacher would need to understand his/her different roles in the classroom very well.
