This unit provided an understanding for different roles that a teacher may play in the classroom as well as types of students they may interact with. As someone who has tried learning multiple languages, I can understand the importance of having a kind and patient teacher who is active in the class and willing to correct mistakes without bringing down the student's motivation and confidence. Students come to learn English for various reasons and they come from different age groups and cultural backgrounds. It is important for a teacher to understand this and be receptive to the needs of the students. Ultimately, the class is for the students to learn, not for the teacher's own benefit. There are different levels of language skills, starting at a beginner or basic level moving up to an advanced level. It is important for the teacher to gage and understand the level at which the students are, in order to cater lessons in their proficiency and understanding. This allows for better growth. The main thing that I have learned from this unit is that the teacher is not the center of the classroom. The teachers and students work together to create the classroom dynamic and help to provide better learning for all. The students will hopefully be learning English from the teacher, but the teacher also has the opportunity to learn a lot from the students.
