Philosophy of teaching
Rapport is
a central aspect to have into account, a climate of trust and good feelings
between the students and the teacher generate obvious favorable conditions to
promote learning, and motivate students to use language to communicate. For this to happen it is essential to provide
positive feedback and tolerate errors, by using them not as faults but as
natural instances in the learning process through which we guide learners to discover
language and its correct use.
Integrating
of the four skills is also relevant when planning and designing activities, as
also it is to do it by always thinking about cooperative learning, and
motivating students to work in different types of groups.
Critical
thinking is a main point; teaching students to remake their knowledge, discover
rules, and explore different possibilities leads them to be more autonomous in
their learning.
Teaching is also modeling, and this is something
we must take into account when we choose our attitude when working; not only in
more serious and formal affairs like planning lessons, but also in our everyday
answers, words, reactions or moods.
