MY ROLES AS A TEACHER

In the calssroom teachers may change from one activity to another. We can say that teachers has different performance styles depending on the situation.

In he section below I am going to indicate all teacher roles:

*Controller: when teachers give explations to students, when tecaher is leading a question and answer session and when teachers are controlling the discipline in the classroom.

*Organizer: this is one of the most important roles because all the time techers are organising activities to do with their students and this often involves given students information and telling them how are they going to do the activity (put them into pairs or groups )and closing the activities.

*Assesor: when teacher offer feedback and grade students.

*Prompter: the techers prompter give suggestions to students when they are doing a role play or a different active activities.

*Participant: when tecahers take part in students tasks. For example: tecaher are part of a student`s group.

*Tutor: teachers are tutors when they work with individual or small groups giving them preparation, feedback for pointing them in directions.

*Observer: we will want to observe what students do, so in that way we can give them useful feedback. So teachers need to be able to work and oberve simultaneous our students.

But...WHICH ROLE I SHOULD PLAY IN THE CLASSROOM ?

I think teachers play different roles depending of the situations and the student's needs.
In occasions I am a contoller teacher, sometimes I am participant of my students extra curricular activities and always I am an observer teacher because I need to know how my students are working in my classes in order to give them a good feedback.
