The Ideal Language Teacher

I asked the following question recently about the qualities that make an ideal teacher, and most visitors feel that patience is the most important trait in a teacher. Why do you think might be so? For you personally, what do you think? Can you share some personal experiences about a teacher from your past that made a difference in your life?

  1. qEnglish is a language subject which associates with the grammar, pronunciation, and the cultural background, etc. The way of learning English is different with other subjects. It needs a long term study to build up the vocabularies and develop the sense of the language. On the other hand, not as math, if you understand the formula, you can work out the problem immediately; for English learning, it relates more multifaceted contexts, it takes time to understand. Base on these characteristics, a teacher should be more patient to do explanation, correction, and inspiration for his/her students.
    Furthermore, arouse the student’s enthusiasm for English sometimes is rather important than the teacher’s own English level. Now I review my previous teachers, the most impressive one is not my university professor. He is my primary school teacher. It is him to inspire my interested in learning English in all my life. After arrived at the states, I found that most of my previous teachers’ English are not standard, especially the pronunciation. Because they did not visit the English speaking country and few English speakers visited my home town at that time. But here, I still want to say “Thank you” to all of them. I appreciate for their hard working!

  2. there is no the most important trait in a teacher. i think that the ideal teacher is made by many skills, the teacher that can join all these skills will be, in my opinoin, the ideal teacher.
