What is a good English teacher?
Good teachers make a difference. But the question is "What is a good teacher?" "Am I a good teacher?", sometimes, we all ask ourselves the same question. From time to time, we examine ourselves and hope we are the one who inspires the students and helps them learn in class. Sometimes, I hear complaints from students and I am so surprised by what they say. Students who have a problem learning or hate English due to the teacher's attitudes. Therefore, I believe that as a teacher we can do the following. A good teacher should: 1. have enthusiasm and patience. 2. answer students questions patiently. 3. give students challenging tasks. 4. inspire students to learn. 5. motivate students. 6. have good interaction with students. 7. provide variety of activities in class. A good teacher shouldn't: 1. deride students. 2. look down at slower learners. 3. have a superior attitude toward students.
