EXTRA UNIT FROM LEARNER CENTERED TEACHING BOOK

THE ROLE OF THE TEACHER

From my point of view, I consider this part from the book really important because we as future teachers must know about our roles to teach our students thinking in their necessities. A classroom is considered like the second home for teachers. Facilitator means that teachers provide opportunities to learners also they find ways to help students in the development process. Furthernore, the book contains facilitative teaching principles like first,  teachers let students do more learning tasks, so the key word is "always"  for example at the end of a reading or discussion activity invite them to summarize the topic that already they studied, second teachers do less telling so that students can do more discovering here teachers must let students to discover a new thing by themselves for example searching more information from books, internet, dictionaries(resources materials ) and language resource , third, tearchers do instructional design  work more carefully, it means that teachers have to prepare all the materials to use in the classroom as we know we can have multiple inteligences students, fourth, faculty more explicitly model how experts learn, fifth, faculty encourage students to learn from and with each other the key factor here is cooperation between them if someone does not understand the instructions maybe the other classmates can explain him or her doubts, sixth faculty and students work to create climates for learning where the teacher is a rapport builder it means the good relationship between them and finally the faculty use evaluation to promote learning at this point teacher become an evaluator  and asessor to know what  they need  to emphasizes if they are right or wrong in their process. I will be an excellent planner in my daily lesson plans maybe adapt materials that it will be useful for them also a diagnostician where I can detect problems in their learning and inmediately to offer them my help. Moreover I would like to be a good teacher with all of these roles to teach in a funny way and be creative with materials for my students.
