This unit discusses the roles and responsibilities of both teachers and learners.
There are many ways to describe a good teacher. A good teacher is a person who is kind and lively, responsible and has a good knowledge of the subject. But for me the most important point for a good teacher is to be enthusiastic, love his/her job, be honest with students and motivate them.
While teaching teacher can have many roles within a lesson. They are:
1. Manager or controller.
2. Organizer.
3. Assessor.
4. Prompter.
5. Participant.
6. Tutor.
7. Resource or facilitator.
8. Model.
9. Observer or monitor.
Besides good teachers, there are also good learners who are eager to study, have a desire to ask questions, listen to a new language and experiment with it.
