Teaching
Statement
The
teaching of language is to equip effective and culturally
appropriate
communication skills. It should be fun,
purposeful and
task oriented. The
teacher is not a saint on stage, but a guide by the side: she
demonstrates
and
models repeatedly the correct usage of the language, she
lets the
learner has many opportunities to practice and use
the language
in
appropriate context, she observes carefully and ensures and
enforces
correct usage, and she checks
for understanding and correct
application of
the skills learned. Teaching and learning go hand in hand,
in teaching,
the
teacher also learns. Continuing education is essential.
The goals
should always include fostering in learners a love of the
subject to want
to continue to learn and equipping learners necessary skills to
move on to
learn and advance on their own. |
