In this unit I learned the qualities required of a good teacher, and some of the roles a teacher must take in the classroom. Although I have taken many of these roles instinctively in the past, it was instructive to have them listed and clarified. I found the information about cultural sensitivity especially interesting, as when I worked with people from Asian countries I became aware of many differences in attitudes about what is and isn't appropriate in the classroom. Knowing the different approaches I can take is like having a tool box; I can choose which role would be appropriate in each situation.
As a life-long student of several languages I was already well aware of what makes a good student; however, it was very helpful to see the breakdown of the various age groups and how human development and life experience affect learning.
I had also never heard of the Common European Framework before and never knew how the different levels of language learning were determined.
I understand that the levels may differ from country to country, and I'm not sure how one really knows when he has moved from one level to another, but I can see that it is useful to have a basic outline.
It was an interesting unit with pertinent information.
