In this unit, I learned that the attitude of the teacher greatly affects students' confidence levels, either helping or hurting the learning process. A teacher who comes in with a negative attitude, is in a rush, becomes frustrated and/or impatient with students, and does not encourage students is not an effective teacher. Students with such a teacher become intimidated to even try. On the other hand, teachers who approach teaching in a positive manner have more confident students who are not afraid of making mistakes and practicing English with confidence. In addition, making the lesson fun and engaging helped students relax and participate more in their practice. Having the students work in groups is much more effective than having them work alone, as they can practice their speaking skills much more effectively, and get help from other students, if needed. A properly prepared lesson plan helps teachers move through the lesson easily, especially if examples and props are prepared beforehand. Overall, the teacher's ability to approach the students positively is the key to having an effective lesson.
