An effective
second language teacher, is one that is always improving in all aspects needed
to teach English to children in an entertaining and dynamic way, that not only doing the classes based on
photocopies or study guides but also can teach through school activities like
games, songs, poems, with the idea to keep
children interested in learning English.
Motivation
is an important factor because it is the only way they want to keep learning
more and more, making the teacher's job as easy as possible, we must remember
that in public schools the teacher's role is quite complicated because they
have at least 40 students in classes and
we need each of them learn the maximum
possible. Using different teaching methods we can ensure that children
can speak, write and listen and
understand in English, we can use technology
to show children recordings, videos, songs, pictures so they can see the
effective use of English in daily life.
Is
essential for the teacher create a relaxed atmosphere in classes for students
feel calm, so that they can learn more and better, to feel free to ask any
questions , to express an idea, give an opinion etc. The teacher's role is
always be aware of the questions that children can do, responding in a clear
and simple way, if is necessary repeat over and over again and correct as many
times as necessary, we must remember that learning a second language is not
always easy.
I truly believe that the rol of the teacher is difficult, as you said has to create a relaxed atmosphere, and provide confidence to the students, it is a big challenge but I think you will make it!! :)
