Keeping records of what we have taught, of how well things have gone - evaluating successful activities and outcomes;
Being reliable about things like timetables and homework (´practise what you preach´ );
Mind the TTT and the STT: Teacher-talking time and students-talking time;
Roles of a Teacher
Within the classroom – the roles change from one stage of activity to another;
The general role – facilitator – all the roles aim to facilitate the learner´s progress;
Controller, organiser, assessor, prompter, participant, resource, tutor, observer
Controller
In charge of the class and of the activity taking place
Takes the roll, tells students things, practises drills, reads aloud, carries out the ´teacherfronted´ classroom;
The role of controller works well with charismatic and knowledgeable teachers
Negatives:
Little experiential learning
Cuts down on opportunities for the students to speak
Lack of variety in activities
Suitable for: announcements, order restored, giving explanations, answering questions
Assessor
Indication of the students´ ´getting their English right´
Offering feedback + correction, grading;
Students need to know how and for what they are being assessed!
Tell the students what success looks like so that they can measure themselves against this
Be fair!
Bad grade should be given with sensitivity and support.
