The teacher plays many important roles in educating students. They act as a model, motivator, and second parent. In the classroom, a teacher can take on roles like an observer, controller, prompter, tutor, organizer, assessor, participant, or resource. Each role serves a different purpose, such as observing student work, controlling class activities, motivating students, tutoring small groups, organizing lessons, assessing student performance, participating with students, or providing classroom resources.

Approaches to teaching literature in efl classrooms
This document summarizes a study on the use of literature in teaching English as a foreign language. It discusses different approaches to teaching literature, including the language model, cultural model, and personal growth model. The study involved surveying 47 Romanian university students on their attitudes towards reading literature, the difficulty of texts, and relevance for exams. Results showed most students had a positive attitude towards reading but found texts difficult and not always relevant. The study concluded literature is important for language and cultural learning and teachers should use more interactive methods to increase student engagement.
Issues in teaching grammar
The document discusses two main issues in teaching grammar: teaching large multi-level classes and catering to different learning styles. Teaching large classes has benefits like ensuring interaction and exposure to diverse perspectives, but also challenges such as maintaining control and providing individualized instruction. There are also four different learning styles - concrete, analytical, communicative, and authority-oriented - and teachers should design lessons to accommodate different preferences for learning grammar inductively or deductively.
Curriculum criteria
Curriculum criteria are guidelines that establish standards for curriculum decision making. The objectives of a curriculum or teaching plan are the most important criteria, as they should be used to select learning experiences and evaluate student achievement. Criteria are stated as questions regarding whether goals are clearly defined and used by teachers and students, relate to society/community or individual learners, and guide the selection of learning materials and evaluation of achievement. A good curriculum is systematically planned and evaluated, reflects school aims, maintains a balance among all aims, promotes continuous learning, and arranges flexible opportunities that utilize effective experiences and resources to maximize student development.
The Teacher as Evaluator of Student Learning
1) Evaluating student achievement is an integral part of the teaching-learning process, and teachers must develop competence in evaluation.
2) The primary goal of evaluation is to improve student performance by informing future learning goals, rather than just producing grades.
3) Teachers should understand reliable and valid evaluation instruments to assess learning outcomes, diagnose difficulties, and apply various theories of measurement and evaluation.
The teacher role and expectation
This document outlines 8 different roles that teachers can take on in the classroom: controller, organizer, participant, assessor, prompter, resource, tutor, and observer. As a controller, the teacher is in charge and directs all student attention and activity. As an organizer, the teacher plans activities and provides instructions. As a participant, the teacher joins activities without directing. As an assessor, the teacher provides feedback and grades. As a prompter, the teacher motivates students. As a resource, the teacher answers student questions. As a tutor, the teacher works closely with small groups or individuals. As an observer, the teacher monitors learning and makes adjustments. Teachers should be able to switch between these roles as appropriate for
Grammar in isolation vs grammar in context
The document discusses teaching grammar in isolation versus teaching grammar in context. Teaching grammar in isolation involves separate grammar lessons focusing only on forms and meanings through exercises, while teaching grammar in context involves teaching grammar as it relates to real communication situations. While teaching grammar in isolation helps identify students' performance and ensure they learn rules, it risks being confusing and boring. Teaching grammar in context provides a meaningful framework that connects lessons to reality and allows students to learn how to correctly form and use grammatical structures for communication. The document recommends teaching grammar in context through methods like dialogues that match how language is used in the real world.
Teaching as your vocation, mission and profession
Teaching as a profession requires long and arduous preparation through continuing education to strive for excellence and better serve students. It also demands a dedication to moral and ethical values as well as public service. While not always financially lucrative, teaching provides the satisfaction of positively impacting students which outweighs monetary concerns. Overall, an effective teacher facilitates learning through imparting knowledge that develops students into well-rounded individuals who can contribute to society.
Introduction to grammar & Approaches in teaching grammar
The document discusses various approaches to teaching grammar to young English language learners, including using grammar in context rather than in isolation, using the M-U-F (meaning, use, form) framework to introduce new grammar points meaningfully, and integrating grammar instruction with the teaching of other language skills like reading, listening, speaking and writing. It also compares descriptive and prescriptive grammar as well as covert and overt approaches to teaching grammar.

10 axioms of curriculum change
The document outlines 10 axioms of curriculum change:
1. Change is inevitable as societies and institutions must adapt to changing conditions.
2. The curriculum reflects and is a product of its time, influenced by social, philosophical, psychological and knowledge-based factors of the period.
3. Curriculum changes can exist concurrently as new changes are adopted while older changes still remain.
4. Curriculum change results from changes in people as their desires, beliefs and skills evolve.
5. Significant curriculum changes are most effective when brought about through cooperative group efforts rather than individually.
The roles of teachers and learners
The document outlines the various roles of teachers and learners. It describes 8 key roles for teachers: controller, organizer, participant, assessor, prompter, observer, tutor, and resource. Some of the main responsibilities for each role are mentioned, such as the teacher being in charge as controller or helping students as a resource. For learners, the roles include actively engaging in learning, being assessed through various classroom activities, and demonstrating their knowledge through self-assessment.
Selection and Organization of Content
This document discusses principles for selecting and organizing content for teaching. It recommends focusing on content that is valid, significant, balanced, self-sufficient, interesting, useful, and feasible. Facts form the base, but teachers should emphasize conceptual understanding by integrating facts, exploring concepts in depth, and relating ideas to students' experiences. Strategies like authentic activities, dialogue, and teaching others can help develop conceptual understanding. An effective selection and organization of content should integrate cognitive, skill, and affective elements.
Roles of the teacher inside the classroom
The document outlines 9 different roles that teachers take on inside the classroom: planner, manager, monitor/observer, facilitator, diagnostician, language resource, assessor, and rapport builder. As a planner, the teacher prepares lessons in advance, and as a manager they organize the classroom and set rules. Additional roles include monitoring student work, facilitating learning, diagnosing issues, and building relationships between students.

Eclectic approach
1. The eclectic approach to language teaching combines various teaching methods and techniques depending on learners' needs and lesson objectives.
2. A key proponent of the eclectic approach is Rivers, who argued it allows teachers to select the best techniques from different methods for specific purposes.
3. Advantages include making learning easier, more engaging, and helping teachers attain objectives, while disadvantages include potential conflicts from mixing methods and difficulty selecting the right approach.
Conducive classroom environment
A conducive classroom environment is important for effective teaching and learning. There are two main aspects to creating such an environment: classroom organization and the physical environment.
Classroom organization involves proper lesson planning, preparation of teaching materials, and effective time management. Lessons must be adequately planned and have a smooth flow to maintain student engagement and minimize disruptions. The physical environment should also be carefully arranged and include attractive displays to foster learning. Furniture layout, noise levels, and classroom size all impact student concentration and behavior. With good planning and arrangement of the classroom space, teachers can promote a positive environment for students.
Curriculum Approaches
This document discusses four approaches to curriculum development: behavioral, managerial, systems, and humanistic. The behavioral approach focuses on specifying goals and objectives and arranging content and activities to meet those objectives, evaluating learning outcomes based on the goals. The managerial approach emphasizes the principal's role in setting policies, planning, and organizing curriculum implementation. The systems approach views all parts of the school as an interconnected system. The humanistic approach places the learner at the center and aims for their total development. Curriculum developers may draw from one or more of these approaches.
Taba model of curriculum development
The document describes Hilda Taba's model of curriculum development, which consists of 7 steps: 1) Diagnosing student needs, 2) Formulating learning objectives, 3) Selecting learning content, 4) Organizing the content, 5) Selecting learning experiences, 6) Organizing learning activities, and 7) Evaluating outcomes. Taba believed teachers should play a leading role in curriculum development by identifying student needs and designing content and activities accordingly through an inductive, "grass-roots" approach.
Representative curriculum designs
This presentation includes the three curriculum designs: subject-centered design, learner-centered design and problem-centered design.
Approaches to curriculum designing
Child or Learner-Centered Approach This approach to curriculum design is based on the underlying philosophy that the child is the center of the educational process. ... Problem-Centered Approach This approach is based on a curriculum design that assumes that in the process of living, children experience problems.
The role of_the_teacher
Teachers play multiple roles in the classroom. At the planning stage, teachers learn best strategies, collaborate with other teachers, analyze student data, and design engaging lesson plans. During instruction, teachers facilitate learning by providing students with information and tools to master subjects, and work individually with students. Learner-centered teaching engages and motivates students, includes explicit skill instruction, and encourages collaboration. Moving to a more facilitative role is difficult for teachers as they like being the center of attention, students may resist, and the new role requires patience and is time-consuming. Principles for the facilitative role include doing less telling and more designing authentic learning tasks, modeling thinking, encouraging peer learning, and providing constructive feedback.
Sociological foundation of curriculum
Sociology is the study of human behavior in groups, social structure, and forms of human interaction. Sociology examines how society influences education through various aspects like changes in societal structures, the transmission of culture, social problems, and economic issues. Schools exist within the social context of society and emerge from within society. The aims of education include developing social skills and qualities, a socially efficient individual, vocational skills, use of leisure time, transmitting cultural heritage, and developing a constructive outlook. The curriculum is based on the conditions, problems, and needs of society and aims to transmit cultural values and prepare students for the global world. Teaching methods develop social adjustment, problem-solving, and constructive thinking using socialized techniques and
Stake's Model of curriculum Evaluation
Robert E. Stake developed the responsive evaluation model in 1967 which is based on the concerns of stakeholders being paramount. The evaluator meets with stakeholders to understand their perspectives and the program's purposes. They identify issues to evaluate and design evaluations to collect needed data, often using human observers. The evaluator then organizes the data into themes and portrays the findings in ways that communicate to stakeholders. A key advantage is sensitivity to stakeholder values and involving them, while a potential downside is clients manipulating concerns to avoid exposing weaknesses.
Structures and routines in a multigrade-classroom
This document discusses strategies for structuring a multi-grade classroom. It recommends organizing desks into small groupings, having boxes or folders for student work, and designated workstations or learning centers. It also emphasizes establishing routines like planning, scheduling, and displaying visuals tailored to students of different grade levels. Maintaining classroom structure, organization, and consistent routines is important for providing an optimal learning environment when students of varying ages and abilities are taught together.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Applying Audio-Lingual Methods
(1) The Audio-Lingual Method (ALM) emphasizes listening and speaking skills before reading and writing, using repetition and behaviorist techniques to help students communicate through memorizing words and structures.
(2) ALM utilizes 11 techniques including memorizing dialogues, drilling, and question/answer exercises. It also follows four principles: language is speech, language is habit, teaching the language not words, and language is what native speakers say.
(3) Advantages of ALM include being based on behaviorist psychology, not using translation or the original language, encouraging foreign language use and speech, and helping students learn pronunciation through teacher modeling. However, disadvantages are that it lacks room for error and does

Characteristics, examples and advantages/disadvantages of each method are provided. The document aims to help teachers understand different instructional strategies and how to apply them based on learning objectives and content.
Sources of Curriculum Design
This document discusses the various sources that inform curriculum design, including science, society, moral doctrine, knowledge, and learners. It outlines how each of these sources can influence curriculum development from different philosophical, social, and political viewpoints. The document also notes that there is no simple answer for curriculum design given the diversity of educational thinkers and approaches. It concludes by encouraging readers to consider all potential sources and conceptual frameworks when developing curriculum.
The silent way Approach
The Silent Way is a language teaching method developed by Caleb Gattegno in the 1970s that emphasizes learner independence and minimal teacher talking. Key principles include the teacher remaining silent as much as possible to encourage student production, and students relying solely on instructional materials to learn. Materials include word charts, pronunciation charts, colored rods, and pointers. The teacher's role is to present new language once and then observe and facilitate learning, while students are expected to develop autonomy, responsibility, and cooperation through self-correction and problem-solving.
Teacher's Role
The document discusses the various roles that a language teacher must take on to be effective, including guide, observer, controller, prompter, tutor, organizer, assessor, participant, and resource. As a guide, the teacher shows students techniques for learning a new language. As an observer, the teacher watches student activities without interacting to evaluate their understanding. The controller role involves explaining new grammar structures and rules. A prompter motivates students and gives clues when they get stuck. Other roles include working individually with students as a tutor, planning and structuring lessons as an organizer, providing feedback and corrections as an assessor, participating in activities alongside students, and serving as a source of information when students have questions.

Role Of A Teacher In The Classroom
Q.3: speak about the roles adopted by the teacher in classrooms. What other roles does the teacher play in the community?
The teacher has the most important part of the classroom. The success of the educational system depends on him. A good teacher can change our lives. He/she can make things easy for us. He also can guide us to the right way where we can achieve our dreams. The clever teacher should know what to do depending on the level and the grade of his students. He should be well prepared, smart and patient.
The role of the teacher is not only planning the lessons and teaching them, but also he considers as the student s third parent as they spend a lot of time with the students.
The role of the teacher these days is completely different from their roles in the past. They used to teach only and to be told what to teach. These days, the teachers help the students develop their own skills and encourage them to develop their information and challenge them to learn.
There are some different roles for the teacher inside the classroom:
The teacher as a controller:
In this stage, the teacher controls everything in the class. He controls the materials, language, presentation and also the activity. He becomes the leader of the class. The students should listen to the teacher and follow his instructions.
In this stage, we can find that the teacher speaks more than the student. When teachers are acting as controllers, the students will not have a chance to participate or to

Novice and expert teacher
The document summarizes the observations of an expert teacher with 37 years of experience and a novice teacher in their first year of teaching. The observer noticed key differences between the two. The expert teacher had strong classroom management skills, engaged students actively in the lesson, and taught confidently. In contrast, the novice teacher struggled with classroom discipline and keeping students focused, though had a good rapport with students. Through comparing the teachers, the observer learned about effective teaching styles and hopes to integrate strategies from the expert teacher, such as gaining student respect, into their own practice.

Effective teacher slide
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
The teacher as model
This document discusses the important role of teachers as role models for students. It notes that after parents, teachers are the most influential people in a child's life from ages 6-18, as they spend many hours together daily. Teachers help guide students through academic and social development at different stages, from elementary to high school. While the teacher's influence on social learning decreases as students mature, the early lessons still impact future interactions. The document emphasizes that teachers should create a warm, supportive environment to positively shape student behavior and learning.

The teacher models the new material while students listen and repeat. Learners have primary roles of listening and performing while responding individually and collectively. The teacher provides feedback as a parent would to a child. Instructional materials like cards and songs are used to engage students and make the class interactive. The procedure has the teacher first presenting the topic, then leading repetitive practice of days with gestures, making the class more interactive. Students then take a more active role by answering questions without help from the teacher or materials.

The role of a teacher
- 1. The role of a teacher The teachers is like a model to the students, so their behaviours must be the right ones in front of the students, I think that the teachers must be so dedicated to his work because they need to pass his enthusiasm to get a better environment in the classroom, so they are like a second parent and we see them a lot of time. In the classroom the teacher can assume several roles to teach what they want, a teacher can be an observer, controller, prompter, tutor, organizer, assessor, participant and a resource. Let’s see what is how each one is. OBSERVER TEACHER It is like the word say, the professor is only watching the students while they are doing an activity in the classroom also leaves the students work on their own and he don’t have interaction whit them. We can know when a teacher is an observe , one example is when the teacher get the group students in pairs to work and let them do it by themselves. CONTROLLER TEACHER This one is when the teacher gives an explanation of a certain activity or a specific grammar structure, with this the professor is taking control of the class and the students just need to listen and follow instructions.
- 2. PROMPTER TEACHER Is like a motivator, he helps the students when they are lost in the activities giving them clues or tips, with this role the class is like more interactive. TUTOR TEACHER The teacher work on small groups and the teacher help the students solving their doubts, give directions and ask questions. ORGANIZER TEACHER The teacher needs to be very specific on his instructions of the activity, working in groups or individually the teacher gives specific time to finish the task, a well organized class is very important ASSESOR TEACHER In this role, the student receives feedback and corrections of mistakes and the teacher grades the students. PARTICIPANT TEACHER The teacher participates in the class just like if he were another student but taking care of the students and participating whit the students in their activities. RESOURCER TEACHER Is the one who give sources to the students to do activities like materials and whatever they need .
