Unit 1 was a great introductory unit because of it dives right in on what makes a great teacher. Being a great teacher is being patient and kind, motivating learners, should really love teaching, and being lively and entertaining. After describing what makes a good teacher and giving a reflection on the relationship between teacher and the students, it lists the various roles a teacher might take depending on the activity. Those roles include Manager or Controller, Organizer, Assessor, Prompter, Participant, Tutor, Resource or Facilitator, Model and Observer or Monitor. I feel it's imperative to understand which role to use and when exactly to use it. Having control of your class and making sure every student is on the same page is what makes a great teacher. The unit goes on to describe what makes a good learner and gives detail on various language levels. These levels include, Beginners, Elementary, Low/pre intermediate, Intermediate, Upper Intermediate and Advanced. Knowing which level you're teaching is crucial to the success you'll have in your classroom. Overall, this was a great first unit and I'm looking forward to the next unit.
