 Is the Great American Teacher Dead?

Becoming a good teacher is important but how to become a good teacher in ESL or EFL classroom is the biggest question in my life?

There are many aspects to accomplish if you want to become a good ESL or EFL teacher and these are some aspects that I want to implement in my teachings if I want to have a positive impact on my students. In my personal opinion, best teachers are those who create thinkers by encouraging students with reflection, critical thinking, and clarity in their ideas to create relationships with their students.

Other important aspects of becoming a good teacher are to provide an environment where learners feel comfortable to share their own ideas and opinions. Second, students will be able to ask questions about their learning. Third, learners need to have the opportunity to practice with confidence. Fourth, a teacher must have to prepare a lesson plan with essential resources to help students in their learning and the importance of delivering the teaching. Sixth, a teacher may encourage learners to keep trying and help them to find solutions.

I hope to apply these principles in my own teachings with my future students.

    Hi Karina

    I read these words and I remember that I had the same concern when I started my teaching career. Just like you, I now find myself wondering if I can be a good ESL / EFL teacher. At that time, a colleague about to retire told me: you'll know that you did well when you meet your students in the street and they greet you with affection. Yes, it takes time to see results, but it's worth it!

      Wow!! this is a great experience that it will take a lot of time but I think it will worth it the waiting. I know that we can become excellent teacher because we will be guide by God and with Him can be able to do all things.

    I agree with you. An environment of confidence will help ELL to speak more calmly and with a certain security that otherwise won't be possible.

      Teacher will need to stop being screamers and more friendly with students even if they have challenges in their learnings.

    While Redding your post I was thinking about how many aspects we should consider when we teach, and how to become good teachers. It is a challenge that requires preparation, but nothing more beautiful than seeing the progress of our students.

5/29/2021 Differences in Manners

The Dictionary of Cambridge explains the word of manners by explaining “A way of behaving with other people. The way in which a person talks and behaves with other people. The way something happens or something is done. Socially acceptable ways of behaving.” This meaning change when are defining the culture where you are. For this reason, some manners are considered bad or good. For example in Japan is offensive to check your cash when the cashier gives the money because they are honest but in America is normal to do because sometimes the cashier gave more or less. Chewing with your open mouth in America is considered bad manners but in some countries of Asia is normal to hear slurping noodle and have your mouth full.   Eating with your hand is common in some countries as Ethiopia and Morocco but in other countries used silverware or chopsticks. There are many examples of different points of view for good or bad manners but this misconception is how to watch the word. Ren...

  Human beings are children of God. One of the doctrines learned in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is that all mankind are children of God. In 1995 in “The Family: A Proclamation to the World,” explained in detail this doctrine “All human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny.” And the proclamation mentioned three times “His children” and two “son-daughter” to point out this doctrine.  If human beings could see as brother and sister, there is no racism, racial segregation, classism, or any kind of discrimination worldwide. The doctrine that we are children of God teaches us to love one another and help others in need. President Oaks remembered us in October 2021 what are the things that members of the church make to help others. One of the practices of membership is to fast at least on the first Sunday of the month and contribute w...

5/26/2021 Personal Space Differences.

  Personal space differences will change with strangers, family, friends, boss, coworkers, or with our love. You can divide by closer or larger personal space. For example, our family, friends, and love have closer personal space and we feel comfortable with them. However, with strangers, employees, or boss this personal space changes and it is larger because if they approach us we see them as intruders. Besides, culture, situations, gender, ages, and emotions create other personal space differences. Another example of personal space where is changed by situations is transportation. In Mexico City change when you are in the subway and most when it is rush hour and people are pushing each other into the wagon, not matter if you are a woman or a man. Children do not have personal space because personal space is learned around 12 years. By gender, the women create longer personal space to men coworkers and most the married women not to create sexual misunderstandings. Culture has ...
