The Role of the Language Teacher

Creative Teaching

Lesson Content:

I can place current trends and practice in a wider context:

Topic “Nature” in the 4th form: The teacher's example: Annually more than six million tons of waste plastic get in the World Ocean, forming garbage islands. Every adult person during a year buys, uses and throws out about four hundred plastic bags. Every minute, one million plastic bags are thrown away in the world. Utilization of garbage is a global problem. And it is solved everywhere in different ways. In most civilized countries of the world, rubbish is sorted, sent to processing and acquires a second life in the form of recyclables. Let's try to sort some kinds of rubbish.

I can use metaphor and analogy to make connections:

They were greeted with a warm reception.

Have a student read the first one aloud. Then, ask your students to tell you all of the words they can think of that “warm" might be like. Examples include, nice, beautiful, good, happy, and glad. All of those words can be substituted for “warm" in sentence number one. Teach your students that the word “warm," in the first sentence, is a metaphor because it literally means “a higher temperature, not cold".

The English teacher uses a metaphor Life is a journey to illustrate that in life there are always going to be ups and downs, challenges, moments of success and moments of failure...just like a journey.)

Teaching Styles:

I can switch between styles and varying pace:

Topic "At the restaurant": pupils listen to the dialogue, read it, perform it by using of the cut replies.

I have confidence and ability to inspire:

I can use information sources to provide practical solutions to the challenges I'm facing as a teacher. Students can use this technique to find things out about a topic they are studing.

I can make students feel valued:

‘Your story is short but you used a good range of vocabulary.’

The Learning Experience:

I can engage students on an affective and emotional level:

I can challenge students to engage and reflect:
