Here Below you can check out the feedback (for one of our units) of one of the 16.000 students that last year took an online course with ITTT!
In this Unit I examined the qualities, roles and responsibilities of both good teachers and good students.
There are many factors that make a good teacher. A good teacher should be enthusiastic, kind, patient and motivated. A caring teacher will help build and encourage motivation by making classes varied and interesting.
Also it was mentioned the role of the teacher. A teacher usually employs different roles: manager, organizer, assessor, prompter etc. A good teacher is able to switch between these roles appropriately.
There are a lot of factors which affect learners of English, but there are some general characteristics that successful students appear to posses. And the most important characteristic is desire to learn.
I have learnt roles of a good teacher (prompter and facilitator is new for me). When prompting we have to be careful not to take the initiative away from the student. And that it is very important to be fair and consistent with all students. Teacher should give equal attention to all students and avoids intruding too much. And the most important thing is that enthusiastic and caring teacher, who really loves teaching, is much more likely to have successful learners.
