It is truly said by William Halsey”All problems become smaller if u confront them instead of dodging them”. This unit has taught me some extremely useful strategies for dealing with various issues that a teacher can come across during his/her EFL career,ensuring smooth flow of learning.
It is extremely important for a teacher to respect student’s competence & to hold the belief that slowly but surely things will improve.Under the influence of optimism,hope & various relevant resources we can deal with troubling issues like reluctant students,seldom English conversations despite of abundant vocabulary practice(more common with monolingual students), lack of participation etc. Enter into respectful conversations & partnership with students addressing their problems & finding solutions,involving them equally,sufficient controlled practice before creative communications,games & warmers for entertainment also making them relevant to lessons can be helpful .Teacher should be proactive when recognised diminishing energy to introduce activity which will interest & reenergise students.Teacher should also address student’s motivation & emphasise their interest & choice with regards to their participation in learning process.
It can be useful for a teacher to take an opportunity to give students some positive feedback -for e.g. Feedback might include ability of children to be open about what they want to do or might be related to the way in which student has been able to.
As teachers ,we can maximise our opportunities to create & maintain collaborative working relationship with students if we use these strategies.
Finally, I would like to thank team Ittt for granting access to such a wonderfully designed course.
It has truly changed my perspective of teacher centred & course book oriented teaching to more student focused & realistic planning of lessons.It has provided basic premises for teaching anywhere in the world!
Truly grateful for this amazing experience. Really I’ve learned a lot from it.
