Unit one was quite informative on many levels. I feel that it clearly stated what the common characteristics are of a good teacher. The relationship that the students have with their teacher is a very important one. If the teacher is understanding, kind, motivational, patient, and entertaining in the style of teaching it will only help the students to enjoy the learning process. The nine roles of a teacher that were described in this unit were very eye-opening. The fact that a teacher must wear different hats at different times throughout a class is something that we should all be aware of. The roles of participant and prompter are two roles that I find very useful. In my past teaching experience I am not sure if I used these two roles as much as it was necessary. I agree that a good learner?s ability to ask questions whenever they are unsure or having difficulty is a very good trait to have. It is quite interesting to read about the differences in the way adults and young learners vary in learning styles. The six language levels, which are listed in unit one are good to keep in mind. We all factor into one of these categories with regards to our foreign language skills, and it?s good to finally have a more defined understanding of this. Although it is good to know the Common european Framework?s six levels of language ability, I enjoy the former levels listed. It is very important for teachers to remember the differences in the different language levels and teach accordingly. This unit was good at explaining this in depth. For whatever reason the learners are taking English lessons we teachers must remember that we should try to motivate each and every one of them. If we are motivated and show that the English language is interesting and useful, then it is likely that the students will also follow suit. We teachers must show how much we care while also being sensitive to the needs of each and every student. This unit was very informative and useful for my future teaching endeavors.
