WORKSHEET – UNIT 1

 

Task 1 – List 5 qualities that a ‘good’ teacher should have and give reasons for your choices. Which of these qualities do you consider to be more important, and why?

 

A good teacher should be kind and patient. If you have shy students, you need much more patience with them because most learners have a nervous side. If you do not care about it, they will be afraid to study English.

A good teacher should really love teaching. When you are doing a job like teaching, you need to have passion for it.

A good teacher should be lively and entertaining. When I am learning something, if I feel bored, I don’t want to do it anymore. It is important to make lessons fun.

A good teacher should have good subject knowledge. When you teach English, you should know that. If you do not know about English, you cannot explain well, and learners will be lost.

A good teacher should have a good rapport and interaction with the class. Teaching is the interaction between the teacher and the students.

If you have a good relationship with the students then you can get respect from students and you can get along with them. Students focus on you as well.

 

In conclusion, all of these are important to be a good teacher. I think that one of the most significant is to love teaching. It includes everything. If you love teaching, you want to help students understand easily and you will prepare many materials which are fun for them, so it makes students happy.

 

Task 2 – List 5 qualities you would expect to find in a ‘good’ learner. Which of these qualities do you consider to be more important, and why?

 

A good learner should be willing to listen to the language. Listening is important for learners because if you don’t listen, you don’t catch anything.

A good learner should have the desire to experiment with language. When you learn the language, you should use it in your life and not forget it.

A good learner should be willing to ask questions. Learners have a lot of misunderstandings. If you are confused by something then you should ask the teacher.

A good learner should have an ability to think about your own learning process and methods. There are many ways to study English. It is important to find your own learning method.

A good learner should have an acceptance of error correction. If you have wrong information, you should change the way you learn. Sometimes, it is hard for you, but this will be good for you in the end.

 

I think that the most important thing is a desire to experiment with the language. When you learn something, if you don’t use it, it might be forgotten it, but if you use it often, you will remember forever.

 

Task 3 – Give as many reasons as possible why students are motivated to study English. The reasons that you give do not have to be in the unit reading material.

 

There are many reasons students are motivated to study English. The first reason is to get a job with a good salary. Most people want to earn a lot of money, so they should have many skills. One of these skills is English ability. That’s why people want to study English. The second reason is to speak with foreign friends. Our world has become globalized. We can go anywhere compared to the past, and can meet many people from different countries. If we want to talk with them, we should know about English. It is the common language. Thirdly, people study English to prove their ability. If I want to go to a good university, I have to have an English grade. Getting a high grade in English is a necessity in Korea. If you get a high grade you can enter a good university and then you will get a good job with a good wage. The fourth is to travel overseas. As I said, English is the official language. If you want to go abroad, you have to use English in order to what you want.

 

A ask 4 – List the levels of language ability that learners are often grouped into and give a brief summation of each level:

 

There are 6 language levels.

The first level is beginner. Beginners don’t know the basic knowledge of English and they aren’t fast and easily activated.

Second is elementary. Elementary students at this level can make easy, basic sentence structures and they can communicate on simple topics.

Third is low/pre-intermediate. They can have conversations and understand a greater variety of topics. They often need more fluency and depth of language awareness, but they might make many mistakes, even with basic structures.

Fourth is intermediate. The students of the level are able to figure out and communicate on a wide range of issues using limited vocabulary, but are still deficient in accuracy and fluency.

Fifth is upper intermediate. These students should be able to communicate well on almost all topics, using a longer range of language, but still lacking in accuracy.

The final level is advanced level. These students should have a very good knowledge of the English language and will now be studying more advanced topics.

 

 

 

 

Task 5 – What are some of the major differences you would expect to find between adult and young learners?

 

Young learners are able to better than adult learners, because they have an open-minded approach to new learning experiences and methods, and they are less nervous about it than adult learners. They are also far more likely to be able to absorb a new language without judgment. On the other hand, adult learners have a lot of motivation compared to young learners. They will usually have made their own decision to attend classes and they have a larger attention span than young learners. In addition, they naturally have more life experience to take to the classroom and they can make a good rapport with the teacher.

 

 

Task 6 – State what you consider to be the five most important roles of a teacher. Describe each role and say why you think it is important.

 

I think that the most important roles for a teacher are to manage, organize, be resourceful, prompt and monitor. Being the manager is to control. The teacher would normally be standing at the front of the class giving explanations, reading aloud and so on. Next is organizer. This role is one of the most important, as teachers often find themselves having to organize students to do various activities such as groups and pair work. It will frequently go with instructions. Next is prompter. This prompter role should gently encourage students, when students have missing information or don’t know what they are trying to say. The other is the teacher needs to guide them to be resourceful. The teacher has to prepare activities that let the students easily get on with the steps of learning a new language alone. Finally, is to monitor. This role is often during the course of a lesson, the teacher will monitor what is going on in the classroom. This can give the teacher information as to how long an activity is likely to take and how successful it has been. As you know, these are very important, because in a class we need teacher-centered methods of learning. The teacher should have power in a classroom, so they can control students and the teacher should have a lot of knowledge compared to the students. This way the teacher can give the students hints. That’s why I think that it is important.
