Unit 1. Overview This unit provides me with information about qualities, roles, and responsibilities of both teachers and students in the classroom. First, I?ve learned about various aspects of a good teacher like: kindness, genuine love for teaching, good motivator, deep grasp of the subject, good communication and organising skills, etc. Personally, I believe that one of the most important characteristic is the love for teaching. The feeling of love and free will allows teacher to treat others with kindness, compassion, and affection. This way the instructor will naturally involve and motivate students in the classroom. Second, I understood from this unit that the teacher has many roles. Based on the type of activity the teacher carries out, we can distinguish: the manager, organizer, assessor, prompter, participant or tutor role. The unit describes very well each role, and I learned that a good balance between these roles will help to have an effective lesson. Next, I?ve learned to distinguish between good learners and less successful students. There are lots of components to consider and I think my responsibility as a teacher is to cultivate and harmonise all of them in the classroom. Finally, I got wide understanding about how to determine language proficiency. International language standards described by this unit helps me to know student?s level and adapt the lesson, to have a better result. Being a teacher is probably the most difficult lifelong task. It requires a good deal of connection between teachers and students, affection, dedication and motivation, but the result is definitely a rewarding task.
