ELT Thinking activity: The role of pupil and Teacher



Hello Readers, this blog is a part of my ELT paper and remedial class in which our teacher gave the task to write about the role of Pupil and Teacher.
                                                     

Teacher and student both are two sides of one coin. Teacher can not teach without learner and learner cannot learn without teacher. They both are nation's builder. So, both are very important in teaching learning process.


      What should be the role of Teacher:


The post of the teacher is the best post in the world because he is the maker of new nation, he is lives changer, who cultivate us from the animal to the human-being, he has power to build or to destroy.There are many features,  as a teacher one should cultivate. Here I take the examples of my teacher Dr. Dilip Barad head of the Department of English MK Bhavnagar University in below points.


1) Friend, Philosopher and Guide:

A teacher should have friendly nature with the students, he should be the philosopher as well as guide. My teacher has very friendly nature with all the students, everyone can share s/he ideas with the teacher. And also he is very good philosopher, thinker and intellect. He used to give thinking activity to all students to make students rational thinker. Teacher also should provide proper guidance to the students and my sir also very good guide for us because he inspire us to take part in any kind of events and also provide what students want from him.


2) Professional preparedness:

Teacher should be the master and has power in his subjects matter. If teacher is specialist in his subject and confidence then he can provides proper information to the students. because the teacher has to lay the foundation of a student's life and he has to increase the curiosity in the students. Teacher should remove the confusion from the mind of pupils and provide fact answer to the students. Hence, teacher must loyal to his profession.


3) Good in Subject presentation:


Teacher should be like a salesman who sell knowledge in a wonderful way.Teacher must use various teaching learning material like my teacher who teach with technology and my another teacher teach us with various game, with experiments, with demonstration, etc. So, students' interest will increase towards study. Chalk and talk sometime bore students so teacher should use various method and techniques in teaching style.



4) Teacher as facilitator and co-learner:


In the era of information and technology, students already have smartphone ans internet so they have every kind of information. Now they do not come with empty mind they have all kind of information about their subject so here teacher have to perform the role of facilitator and make the a beautiful classroom atmosphere in which students can learn themselves. So, teacher should used project method, debate, group work etc.


5) Teacher as Classroom manager:

As a teacher if you want to make interesting atmosphere of classroom you have to ponder following points:

  • Always start positively
  • Know where are starting from
  • Know where are you going
  • Know what resources you will need
  •  have a backup material or activities in hand
  • Involved all the students in activities
  • What to teach, why to teach and how to teach



             What is the role of Student

The role of students also very crucial along with teacher's role. Without teacher the teacher learning process is impossible. Our Educational text also students center, teaching learning is happening for the sake of student, student is a central aspect of teaching learning. So, according to me the role of students is as following:

1) Curious:

Students should be curious to learn and gain knowledge, they should ask questions to remove confusion to understand the subject matter. Curiousness lead students towards brightness and always ready to learn new thing from teacher.

2) Active:

Student must active in every kind of activity whether outside of class or in the classroom. When teacher arrange any of activity students should be a part of such activity so it make you learner active and perfect.

3) Punctual:

Students must be punctual in school time or in given tasks by teacher. Punctuality make students honest and it is good sign for students. Punctual students always loved by teacher and also a very good habit.

4) Self-disciplined:


Disciplined students loved by everyone. Discipline means not that kind of in which teacher punished students to be disciplined but disciplined should be come from self realizing. Our every greatest Educational thinkers from western countries to Asian countries all emphasis in self discipline.

5) Leader:


Students also have to possess the skill of leadership because they will go to lead nation in future. So, leadership is good virtue to be cultivated. Leadership is very important for societal functioning so students must acquire this kind of habit at school level.


6) Extrovert:

Every student has different kind of personalities, some are introvert and some are extrovert. But as per my thinking, students should be a extrovert,because extrovert students fit themselves in every kind of situation and also loved by everyone. I'm not saying that introvert personality is bad, somewhat it is very good but introvert students do note make relationship with other, whereas extrovert students work in group and group work is very important for gregariousness.
