This unit is all about the attributes of a good teacher and a good learner. It explains various roles teachers can play in the classroom depending on the activity concerned. A good teacher, besides being patient, kind, able to build rapport, etc, he/she should be able to know when to play any particular role. The teacher should know when to be a participant and when to be a facilitator, when to be a controller and when to be an observer. A good learner, on the other hand, is one who is willing to learn, accept corrections, experiment on the language, willing to ask questions, etc. However, these qualities will depend on factors such as age, language level, life and language experiences, culture and so on. Therefore a good teacher should be able to take these factors into consideration when teaching so as to ensure a good and successfull learning environment.
