Learning is about People

So people are much more important that theories, methods, strategies, ways, researches…etc. before thinking about that, we have to think about the learners themselves. We know that people learn better when they feel positive about it. How do we as English teachers foster the students’ positive self-image?

One of the best things is to appreciate students work. Students would feel proud of their achievements and they would feel more confident, in addition they would give more. Also the teacher would praise a student among his/her friends. This would encourage competition between students and it would create a good relation between the teacher and the student. For instance, I’m a TD student and I love when a teacher praises me in front of my classmates, so how about the younger learners!
