Experiences of a teacher of English

Some teachers do not feel well in the classroom, because they feel somewhat anxious, they say. But, if you let me tell you, don’t you attend the class in order to seek what is good and convenient for your dear students? I would like for you to be somewhat relaxed in the classroom. I apply that principle to me myself. Better said, some sane and nice tension is desirable in order to attain your jobs as teachers of your class-groups. Teaching ensues some easy tension, let’s say: You cannot teach or work anywhere else without some tranquil tension, so as to say.  Those class-groups together with you make up working-teams, where everyone can contribute to the learning processes.  Education is precisely to extract from your students the best from themselves. Education also is leading our dear students toward becoming better persons and ones that can afford their own lives.  As well we have to educate our students in accordance with what their parents wish for t...

Teaching? I love it. That does not mean it’s not hard – at some extent.  If you’re a teacher – or otherwise any other job, I would advise you to plan your lessons in the following way, to fulfill your job in the following way.  When lesson-planning, you may think of one or two things you know are convenient for your students. Then plan the activities with your students in mind. And… you know what? It’s so and pretty convenient you should love your students. That makes the difference. Love of benevolence.  That is: wish what is good for them. In other words: seek what is good for them. Even we should sacrifice for them: get so committed with teaching them and not just fulfilling the strict duty and that’s it.  The teacher who gives himself to his students is able to accomplish that stupendous goal. That makes the difference, I can confess to you.  It’s quite many teachers’ experience. What teachers can we remember from our childhood? Best and...

Yesterday I told you that in order to keep some nice behavior management in the classroom we have to focus upon two points: Getting our students engaged with work and Maintaining some good rapport with those students of ours.  I teach English, I can tell you. Unless I get my students interested in activities that meet their interests, hardly will I get them roped with those exercises.  I teach adults. In some of my group-classes I can see the activities I implement are related to their need of learning English. For example, they need English for traveling somewhere else, abroad. Okay then I should implement activities like those ones in all my group-classes.  Secondly, I can also see that in the group-classes where I have gotten more acquaintance with my students I have fewer behavior problems, even none. In order to accomplish more acquaintance with my students I just treat them, both within and out of the classroom, with affection, yet I’m not their buddy a...

Well I hope to be with you all again pretty soon. Now I have some problems at utilizing a computer to post. I do want to be with you all again. I've got to use someone else's computer. Such is life! Otherwise things are going well - in general. Be attentive to my posting soon! Now also I can tell you that for behavior problems in the classroom two things that are pretty good are: Getting the students engaged in the activities plus getting some nice rapport with them through getting acquainted with them verily! I wish you all a happy new year 2020!
