Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Many people think that teachers are just people with knowledge and teach; however, teachers are way more than that. There is a Chinese old saying, "Being a teacher for one day, respect them as a father for life." What this means is that teachers usually have many responsibilities, just like students' parents. Most of the time, teachers need to adapt to various roles in different situations during the class or even outside of the class. The five main roles that teachers play are instructor, controller, role model, and counselor. 1. Instructor 2. Controller 3. Role Model 4. Mentor Do you want to teach English abroad?

(1) Therefore, in working with young learners, teachers should be mindful of this as they promote the acquisition of English as a second language. The...  [Read more]
