An effective teacher takes on multiple roles in the classroom, including controller, prompter, participant, resource, and tutor. As a controller, the teacher leads from the front, giving orders and instructions, while as a prompter and resource, the teacher guides and helps students independently. A teacher also acts as a participant in classroom activities but should avoid dominating. Organizing students and activities, a teacher engages students with new material, instructs them on the learning process, initiates activities, and provides feedback. Beyond these roles, rapport with students through recognition, listening, respect, and fairness is important for a successful relationship. A teacher's use of gestures, modeling good language use, and comprehensible input also help students understand

2. The roles of a teacher
 Controller : here the teacher takes control from the front, they
give order, and intruct students to do things.
 prompter: i sometimes we want our students to be
independent and creative but before they go to that stage we
have to guide them. We should act as a prompter, guide them
sensitively. Here we act as helper that gives them guidance to
develop their english independently.
 Participant: the teacher here act as a participant but beware
of dominating the activity.
 Reasource: here the teacher act as an information resource
cause sometimes they still need help to find something and
we have to tell them that information. But remember, no body
is perfect in other words we are a know all person and we
also cannot provide all the informations that make the
students becomeing an over-realiant person.

 Tutor: it is a combination of a prompter and a
resource. it is easier if we do this in a smaller
class or groups. Because in a large class we
affraid that we cannot give a more intimate
relation. Just dont give it too much or too little.
so it is obvious that we cannot only be one of
the roles mentioned above. Experience can
help us to decide when we can be one of
those roles.

4. Organising students and
activities
Engage : prepare the students to receive a
new material
Instruct: tell the students the steps in the
teaching and learning process. Sometimes we
need to give it several times or even give it in
their mother tounge to make them understand.
Initiate the activity : give them a clear timing.
Organise feedback : evaluate the activities or
make it as homework or anything else.

5. Teacher as a Performer
As I often said that every teacher may perform
different roles, depend on the way they act in
the classroom. The teacher can perform
differently not only based on their personality
that affect their behaviour but also depend on
the classroom need. Such as when they act as:

6. Rapport is the relationship that the students have
with their teacher and the vice versa.
There are four characteristics to make sure that
you have a succesfull relationship with the
students:
1. Recognising students: remember their names
using many strategies
2. Listening to students : show that we are
interested in what they say. Dont only use
your ear but also your eyes and body.
3. Respecting students: be wise in critizizing and
praising
4. Being even handed : treat your students
equally.

7. The Teacher as The Teaching
Aid
Ways to make your students understand more:
a. Mime and gestures : use your face
expression and body movement to express
the words.
b. Teacher as language model: use good
language cause your students will imitate
you.
c. Provide a comprehensible input: mind your
talk time.

8. Wich one do you think better, a
native speaker teacher or a
non native english speaker
teacher?
