1、What Makes a qualified English TeacherThis title reminds me of my own teacher of English and teacher of Chinese. All the students have their teachers of English and Chinese. And I believe they brought us both delights and disappointment. So, only according to this experience, what we expect from our

2、 teachers decides how builds ourselves as teachers in some degree.So, what we expect from our language teachers? Capable, humorous, responsible, kind and so on. However, these words cant form a system to judge a teacher. Firstly, being a good language teacher, what the premise is being a good teache

3、r, and this refers to some moral requirements. There is a Chinese saying goes that “Teachers are engineers of the soul.” This suggests that teachers are responsible for our all-round development. As a role model, they not only cure our hearts but also set examples for us. When we were students, we e

4、xpect our teachers have some characters such as fairness, kindness, and sense of duty. A teacher with extreme high level of morality often has a potent and positive effect on his students, rather than those with high teaching standard. Sometimes just a sentence accidentally comes out of a teachers m

5、outh may influence a students whole life. As a language teacher, especially, when we talk about “fairness”, not only do we refer to be fair to every student and dont isolate some certain one, but also should we properly regard the conflicts between different cultures. Even though we have our own opi

6、nions, judgments, or even discrimination, however, avoiding saying some radical words and treating cultures equally is the correct way. In conclusion, a responsible teacher should aim for integrated development of students, not only in knowledge, skills and abilities, but also in values, attitudes a

7、nd emotions.Secondly, a professional language teacher should be capable enough in your own language ability and to influence positively on your students. As to yourself, you should obtain the capability to have language usage well in hand, and an excellent command of western culture. You can not be

8、more knowledgeable and informed. Besides, youd better be versatile, especially in the four skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. As we all know, students always use English as a tool. So, the utility function is urgently needed. And these four skills help to enhance the focus on realist

9、ic communication, which is essential in developing students competence in English. Moreover, a good language teacher should be equipped with profession and armed with a range of skills, strategies and information. Before you give your students a glass of water, you should have a barrel of it. You sh

10、ould grasp a large scope of knowledge of language and take the essence of it, then transfer it to your students. Whats more, youd better let your students dip into literature works and train them to have a western way of thinking, which encourage them to involve in the western culture. So having a g

11、ood command of English also means being quite known about English cultural backgrounds: the festivals, the western countries and cities, the customs,est. Only more input can lead to better output. The students should be exposed to different aspects of English knowledge, on one hand, to widen their e

12、yes; on the other through the different kinds of culture to cultivate their interest in learning. In one word, the more knowledgeable you are, the more students can absorb from us.But these are not enough. You also should be skilled in lesson planning and class management. It is essential to make th

13、e class lively and to let all the students engage in the class. And these requirements need your high level of profession and your own personal charisma. Students like humorous and charming teachers with strong attraction. And even in some dull academic courses, which are hard to make the class live

14、ly, youd better provide some jokes related to the course to make students interested.Also, more emphasis should be put on oral proficiency. Although classroom instruction conducted exclusively in English is unrealistic in most high school, it should be strongly advocated for English teacher to get t

15、he knowledge through by speaking target language more often. It can offer the students an authentic English learning situation which will benefit students listening and pronunciation a lot. Oral proficiency, at the same time, can bring the teacher the students respect. If one can teach a lesson flue

16、ntly and clearly, the idea will be better understood; the students will feel satisfied about having learnt something and finally may keep a continuous interest in this course.Finally, I think a more important duty of a teacher is to be a guide, who protects students interest and cultivate their self

17、-learning skills. Capable teachers should have the awareness to develop their independent spirit, which is also helpful to students personal life and future.To be a role model ought to be highlighted. A qualified teacher should teach his or her students “how to teach” rather than “give them fish”. Y

18、ou help them to discover their own way to learn the language, and lead them to find the fittest rules and patterns for themselves. Instead of waiting for the teacher to teach them, they should be taught to be active to look for every chance in using English, such as communicate with others, and spea

19、k to foreigners. Above all, good teachers should be organized and ready for their students. As a leader, or a “consultant”, raising students interest in language and train them to own the independent learning skills is the most valuable things to do.Being a master of integrally using different ELT m

20、ethodologies. There are mainly three ELT approachesthe traditional approaches, the structural approaches and the communicative approaches. Each of them has their own advantages and shortcomings. But if we just integrate the advantageous aspects into one usage, amazing effect can be achieved. If I we

21、re the English teacher, the classroom activities will be conducted at first to lead students into the class focus, which will be obviously directed by the commutative approaches. Thus, the students can have opportunities to open their mouth, to interact with me and with other students actively. That

22、s qualify for reaching the goal of oral practicing. When it comes to text reading, traditional approaches cant be omitted. We can apply it to sentence analysis, grammar, ect, for many sentence structure and grammatical rules are so conventional and arbitrary that we can hardly explain them. And when

23、 necessary, its proper to translate the English text. As to the structural approaches, habit-formation will help simple daily oral communication and vocabulary remembering. Usually we can find that even we dont recognize the sentence structure and sentence grammar, we already have the capacity to po

24、p it out at the right time, right situation. Thats the case. Since having repeated it many times, there is little difficulty to speak it out from intuition.Ideally, a qualified language teacher should be excellent both in his or her professional competence and communicative competence. As to profess

25、ional competence, we should be familiar to the three stages: learning, practice and reflection. As to communicative competence, we should be qualified at real language use. Nowadays, the significance of English is raised rapidly and the pace of the world speeds up, we teachers should keep processing

26、 to make us more knowledgeable and professional.To be a qualified English teacher, I believe that loving and esteeming your students is also the most important. Loving your students will make your student close to you, respect you, trust you and like learning from you.To arose their interest is also

27、 very important, for you teachers, you have often heard of this famous saying: “the best teacher is the interest”. If we arose the interest of our students, they will think learning English is not so hard but a kind of amusement. Many excellent students love English due to this. Now, I sincerely wan

28、t to be a qualified English teacher, especially an excellent English teacher. In my eyes, once one makes a decision, he should try his best to do it well. Im fond of a saying that we should view students not as empty bottles to be filled but as candles to be lighted. And I will do what I can to atta

29、in this point. In my opinions, a qualified teacher should possess qualities as follows:1. Possess ability of mastering emotions: As a teacher, one must not release emotions like anger or sadness on his students, especially in class. It may have bad influence on students and teaching.2. Behave in a p

30、roper way: A teacher shouldnt do something drastic or abnormal in the presence of students.3. Have a perfect mastery of his major knowledge: This is the most fundamental. 4. Fluent in speech: If a teacher cannot speak fluently, how he can teach the students clearly.5. Skillful handing of the class:

31、A qualified teacher should learn to master the whole class, especially when something unexpected happens.6. Dress neatly: Clothing is a reflection of ones cultivation and inhesion.7. Love his motherland: Everyone should learn to love his own country.8. Love his job: If one loves his job, he will become interested and enthusiastic when working.9. Love his students;10. Love his family and friends;11. Positive attitudes towards life: Everyone should learn to love. 12. Should be healthy: Good health is the fundamentality of our body.13. Should be patient: Those who have patience can compass a
