This unit covered the a basic overview of the characteristics of good teachers and students. It also covered the motivations that English learners may have for taking English courses as well as the various language levels of students.
Students and teachers must share a mutual respect and desire to be teaching/ learning. Teachers must take on various roles to successfully lead a classroom, including: managing, participating, monitoring, and facilitating. Teachers must also be aware of the various language levels of their students, as well as taking into account the students age. Older students may be more motivated to learn the language but more shy or nervous about experimenting with the language than younger students who may have less of an incentive to learn the language but are generally more willing to experiment and make mistakes. Older students have a longer history of learning that may influence their expectations and behaviors than younger students who are still forming their expectations. Teachers must also be aware of cultural sensitivities while teaching.
Good students should feel comfortable and able to ask questions. They must also have a desire to learn and a willingness to experiment with the language and accept feedback.
