This unit gave me a good overview as to the qualities that make both a good teacher and a good learner, as well as their responsibilities and roles in the classroom. I believe a good teacher should be kind, patient, understanding, able to engage and motivate students, act as a resource and model for English, but allow space for a student to learn and understand material on their own. They should be enthusiastic about and love teaching, but care even more about their students learning and being successful. I think a good learner should be willing to pay attention and listen to the language, ask questions, and not be afraid to experiment with the language or make mistakes. The unit also outlined differences between adult and young learners, and how they may differ with motivation levels (being in class by choice or by force), reasons for learning English (job prospects, school, travel/living abroad, etc), nervousness about making mistakes (kids may be less fearful than adults), and behavior. The unit also broke down the differences in the levels of English language ability. Overall I feel that in order to have a successful English language classroom, many factors are involved from both the teacher and student side.
