How to Be A Good English Teacher

Why Do We Study English?

English is one of the most widely used languages in the world. It is spoken by nearly three hundred million people:in

England， the United States， Australia, Canada and many other countries。 It is one of the working languages at

international meetings and is more used than the others。 It is said that 60 percent of the world's radio broadcasts and 70

percent of the world’s mail are in English. Millions of books and magazines are written in English, too. English is really a

bridge to knowledge. With the help of English we can learn modern science and technology faster and better form the

developed countries. In this way we can serve our country better。

How to Be A Good English Teacher

When I was a child， I was moved by the story of a great teacher ———-Annie Sullivan。 She was the teacher of

a famous writer Hellen Keller. She taught Hellen， a blind and deaf girl, how to read， how to write, how to learn。 She

brought bright to Hellen and changed her life。 From then on， I made up my mind to become a teacher like Miss

Sullivan after I grow up. After nearly 7 years' teaching， I found it is not easy to be a good teacher. But, it is possible if I

do my best。

It is important that a good English teacher should have an excellent command of English。 But this is no enough。

And I think, there are a variety of elements that contribute to the qualities of a good English teacher. There are three main

aspects: ethic devotion， professional qualities, and personal styles。

Firstly， a good English teacher should like his or her job, love the students, should be responsible for the student.

A teacher should be full of patience and imagination. Secondly， professional qualities are very important, and they are

the most difficult. A good English teacher should be qualified for the profession and armed with a specific range of skills,

strategies， knowledge， and abilities. With the help of these qualities, an English teacher can do better in the teaching of

English. Thirdly, personal styles are necessary. Since language is always changing, language teaching can never come to

an end. That needs more creation， communication, participation, discussion, activities and more new teaching

conceptions。

Karl Marx once said， “A foreign language is a weapon in the struggle of life。" I am an English teacher， and it

will take me a long way to become a good teacher。 But I will try my best to be a good English teacher， and I believe I

can。 I am proud of my job because I have such a glorious career in the world。

2．“Teacher is the man who passes on principles, teaches skills and solves problems。" So do that well, you’ll become a good

English teacher.

“Pass on principles” means that passing the principles of human to the students。 This must be emphasized on teaching。 As an

English teacher, not only teaches students to learn English， but also teaches students how to carry out behavior of the human is more

important。 During teaching English knowledge to middle school students， we should educate them respect teachers and the elder,

value society， unite classmates, work hard strong-willed and so on.

Most students’ feeling is simple， genuine。 How to teach them well？ I think we should do the following points:

First， believe students' effort.

When you come into contact with new students, you must speak deeply and clearly， but respect them。 For example, during class,

if a student doesn’t listen carefully, you should give him a hint with the eyes。 If he’s going on, you should walk towards him， and

touch him lightly. Even worse， you must tell him in a low voice： “After class, you go to my office.” In the office, you mustn’t raise a hue and cry. You should be strict with him and say the principles with a mild tone. At last, you may use genuine feeling to move him, till

he acknowledges sincerely.

Teachers should encourage the students to work hard。 I have taught many students， who are not interested in English learning at

all. After persuading and education, their English was improved and other aspects。 From then on， they become excellent students. As

long as you are patient enough， they could become good students finally。 After all， they are children with reforming。

Second, teachers should improve professional skill.

Man’s life is full of learning。 “To learn is never too late。” The world is developing, so does knowledge. As an English teacher,

you must improve your listening， speaking, reading and writing skills， etc. It’s necessary to read more English, and you must speak

English as much as possible。 If there is no intercommunicate surrounding, you must creat it.
