"About my teaching''

About my teaching.

To be a good teacher, we need some of the gifts of the good actor. We must be able to hold of attention and interest of our audience.

We know that English teacher should know how to teach, what to teach, choose the right styles and strategies of learning. We should use variable techniques of teaching to support the motivation of students.

Teach students the ways of learning make for them clear aims of study process. I think that the teacher must be communicative not indifferent to his works, industrious in searching for new methods of teaching and applying them lessons.

English teachers also should know different methods of teaching and develop activities that encourage students to speak. We as competent speakers should know how to use language in its appropriate social setting and show skills in discourse competence. I agree with Krasher’s theory “The teacher’s role is to provide input and encouragement and create interesting and stimulating activities that eventually develop fluency”, because only the target language is spoken in class the students absorb the language and respond to the input. He shows two ways of learning: acquisition or learning. I’ll choose acquisition because it is the natural process. I think that, his hypothesis helps us by teaching.
