The introductory unit on teachers versus learners, helped to more clearly define the role and characteristics of teacher and students in a learning space. How a teacher commands the room, whether as a 'controller' leading the room infront of the class, an 'assessor'- giving feedback and corrector, or a participant, being involved in some part of the lesson on the same level as the students, has a big impact on how students learn. The age, culture and background of student's also has a big impact on the learning process. Characteristics of a good learner, including their motivation, willingness to listen to the language and consciously reflect on their learning journey, determines how much a learner is able to get out of the experience. Currently, I am assistant-teaching English in Japan, at Elementary and Junior High level, and already, this unit is helping me to reflect on my teaching style, consider the different types of learners in my classrooms, and how I can continue to positively shape a learning environment that is inclusive, motivational, functional and fun for my students.
