How to be a successful English Teacher

I heared the important word "Teacher's job is changing students".That was very impressed for me.I thought teacher's job is teaching or growing,but this was not.Teacher's job is teaching,that is true,but not just teaching. Maybe there are no wrong answer,but Mr.M's opinion was correct I thought.And I was changed by his word.

I think Jr.High School students in Japan are very shy,so they don' t want to use English.So we need to change the environment around us in class.When I was Jr.High,English class was just lestening words teacher said.This way was not good.In my opinion,how to be a successful English teacher is speaking and hearing each other between teacher and students,students and students.English is a language,so we have to speak more in class I think.

Micro Teaching

Thank you for your cooperation and give me your advice.


Strong Point

I think our strong points were that trying to use the method which we learned about presenting structure in the last class.And I think class flowing was strong too;First,we showed you pictures.Second, we said"Do you ~?".Last,ask you to repeat it.By this three steps,students could understand the meaning and the new grammer.


Weak Point

I think we had two weak points.
One was that we needed more practice before the short play.If we did with junior high school students using the same way,could they understand? Although "Do you ~?" is the basic structure,but for them it's first seeing.If we make them understand,we should take much more time.
Other was that we needed more examples not only "Do you play tennis?""Do you like apples?".We should use more nouns.

And my own weak point was that I should practice more because I wathed the peaper several time.By forgetting class flow,perhaps my partner confused,so I want to apologize.
