4. The role of the teacher in the 21st century

-Our attitude to teaching is different as different the roles that a teacher plays every working day.

1. Write down the word ‘a teacher’ in the center of your sheet of paper and write down as many roles (a friend, a leader, a master) of a teacher as you can (individually – discuss in pairs – discuss in groups – discuss all together).

2. In groups of 4 match roles of a teacher with their explanations (discuss all together).

3. Put down + and – of each role.

4. Rank these roles from the most important to the less important for you (discuss all together).

5. Think and say what role you will use for the following activities:

The teacher is in complete charge of the class, what students do, what they say and how they say it. The teacher may have the gift of instruction, and can inspire through their own knowledge and expertise, but, does this role really allow for enough student talk time? There is also a perception that this role could have a lack of variety in its activities.

The teacher encourages students to participate and makes suggestions about how students may proceed in an activity. The teacher should be helping students only when necessary and always in a supportive way.

The teacher is a kind of walking resource centre ready to offer help if needed, or provide learners with whatever language they lack when performing communicative activities. The teacher can guide learners to use available resources such as the internet, for themselves, it certainly isn’t necessary to spoon-feed learners, as this might have the down side of making learners reliant on the teacher.

The teacher assumes this role to see how well students are performing or how well they performed. Feedback and correction is organized and carried out. There are a variety of ways we can grade learners, the role of an assessor gives teachers an opportunity to correct learners. However, if it is not communicated with sensitivity and support it could prove counter-productive to a student’s self-esteem and confidence in learning the target language.

Perhaps the most difficult and important role the teacher has to play. The success of many activities depends on good organization and on the students knowing exactly what they are to do next. Giving instructions is vital in this role as well as setting up activities. The teacher can also serve as a demonstrator, this role also allows a teacher to get involved and engaged with learners. The teacher also serves to open and neatly close activities and also give content feedback.

This role improves the atmosphere in the class when the teacher takes part in an activity. However, the teacher takes a risk of dominating the activity when performing it. Here the teacher can enliven a class; if a teacher is able to stand back and not become the center of attention, it can be a great way to interact with learners without being too overpowering.

The teacher acts as a coach when students are involved in project work or self-study. The teacher provides advice and guidance and helps students clarify ideas and limit tasks. This role can be a great way to pay individual attention to a student. It can also allow a teacher to tailor make a course to fit specific student needs. However, it can also lead to a student becoming too dependent or even too comfortable with one teacher and one method or style of teaching.

A particular kind of teacher, one who is democratic (where the teacher shares some of the leadership with the students) rather than autocratic (where the teacher is in control of everything that goes on in the classroom), and one who fosters learner autonomy (where students not only learn on their own, but also take responsibility for that learning) through the use of group and pair work and by acting as more of a resource than a transmitter of knowledge.
