2560. A Transcendent View of Person



We could offer a Christian transcendent view of person, in the model of person that I referred to on last post. 

 Person as recipient of all subjects. 

 A person would so be a being created to image and likeness of God. And saved from sin and Hell by Jesus Christ's passion and sacrifice and death on the cross, and resurrection. And then he becomes a child of God. / Photo from: Jesus Christ saving us from Hell.

3703. To Set High Standards in Class You Meant? How Can I Do That?

  I’m an English language teacher, as you well know. And you may be another language teacher. Even you may be learning English, like I am doing myself. Well, let’s suppose that that teacher ought to do his or her best for their dear students to learn that dear language.  That teacher ought to think how my students can learn best. And each lesson is – must be – a step forward as far as my students are learning English. How are they progressing, since I began to teach them? Do they already master English?  You know, you may rightfully tell me that it also depends – and much! – on them, and you are fully right – it’s them who have to learn, yet I can wonder how I can facilitate that process, that inner process, for each lesson needs to be a step forward.  What can I do for they really would learn English? You know, part of this job is transmitting and passing on the lure and the inner desire to learn English – the more enthusiasm you invest on the task, the more they wi...

724. How d'you do?

Image
One day teacher of English A said to teacher of English B, “Lately I’m getting more aware of some of my students’ circumstances. I’m referring to kids that never advance or are attentive in the class. They can have problems with drugs or drink, sleep deficit, receiving bad treatment at home, or treating their parents bad. And there they are, with me for some hours a day. A teacher told me, on the other hand, that the family is the first factor that influences on these kids (!). She said some examples to show attitudes that can help, definitely. Look. Dad not only talks with the adolescent about the grades. There can be family meetings, like at dinner, when everyone can intervene and tell what he or she thinks. Dad and Mom listen to that kid, who is asking for being listened to, please! This teenager is eager Dad and Mom and his oldest brother would listen to his worries. He feels insecure about himself. Because of that he dresses that way, and shouts, like meaning here I am, I’m someon...

3698. Why do Those Students Participate More in Class?

  I’ve been teaching English for quite many years now, you know. Something I’ve noticed is the following fact. When you ask your dear students questions as prompts, and speaking is one crucial skill to practice in class, and out of class, you may note something specific. By the way, we English teachers do ask a lot in class. A friend of mine – a head teacher himself – once told me that we are all the time asking questions, you know, and he meant that half-jokingly. Well, some students answer those questions. Most students do answer those questions. But some of them add something else, from themselves, so they facilitate real communication in class, and they say more things about the same point. And others, with a lower level maybe, may answer with something short and that’s all.  I mean, all of them are in favor of lessons and the teacher, but you notice there’re some learners who try something else. Usually those latter students work on their own, more than the students who j...

674. Is she a native teacher of English? I think yes

Image
One day teacher of English B said to teacher of English A, “If you’re a non-native teacher of English you should carry on learning this language; it’s a lifelong learning. It makes your teaching efficient, more likely; also because then you’re a learner yourself, and know what learning a language brings about. For example you can read a novel, or a non-fiction essay, history, etc. It makes you learn new expressions and terms. Dedicate a few minutes every day, at a specific time, or whenever possible, when traveling by the subway,etc. Otherwise you can dedicate half hour a week: you know your circumstances better, of course. Moreover you’ll feel satisfied when actually learning further expressions and idioms that you can use with your native colleagues. As well you have the capability to better remember new words more easily than your students. You’ll have fun too and less fear to plunge into talking in English all time with other teachers and students. You’ll gain new language to commu...

3697. When Oliver Twist Asked for More ... What Happened? On Attending to Your Students

  A teacher? He or she influences on their students more with their lives than with what they teach to do. Whatsoever they do, well, that is so influential on those kids, or those adults too, if the case.  That is like an eternal truth, one of those that occur all the time. It was taken from college teacher Jutta Burggraf, who lived 1952 through 2010, and which teacher has influenced on so many people. She was like special in some way, you know.  Also something that may inspire your students is the way you teach, whether you really know about the school subject and the way that that ought to be taught.  Something essential too, and which professor Jaime Nubiola states: you must love your students. With benevolence love: by seeking what’s good for them. Also by hearing and listening to them.  If you are a terrific teacher and you do like in Oliver Twist, bad way you’re going. Yes, remember: Oliver Twist gently asked for more porridge, and then something tremendou...
