A GOOD ENGLISH TEACHER!?!?
I remember in one of our units at university we had a session on who is a good language teacher ...after a long and heated discussions in the class the professor said: “let me give you the final word, the best people to give you bright and helpful ideas on this matter are not researchers, not the professors either... they are in fact your own students ... listen carefully to what they say .... So I have decided to give careful thoughts to your ideas on this. So put on your thinking caps and get blogging

Dear Ms. Mashoufi
congratulations on having such a perfect blog...
Hi there ,
As I 'm putting my thinking hat on , I realize that describing a good English teacher is a tough job . All my English teachers were nice people and I 've learnt lots of them .Some times I wonder why all of English teachers are interesting ? From my point of view , I think the most important part of learning English is on own student duty , I mean an eager and enthusiastic learner must be active and have to do lots of job in different areas ( reading , listening , grammar , vocabulary ) , Although it 's really vital to have an knowledgeable teacher , with good accent . They must inspire students and learn them the good ways of learning a new language . And of course some times a bit tough homework and research is helpful for us as lazy students . have fun and I 'm looking forward to see your next entry .
Bye

Hi dear Mahsa ,
It 's me for the second time just for saying, you see hear every one can speak and say her ideas without over taking and interopting each other . I must confess most of the time i can't say my ideas in our class discussions .
see you and bye

Hi there ,
What are you all up to ?
*************************
*** Happy teacher day ***
As the teacher , Miss Mahsa asked about our different activity I want to list them here :
1- In one of our classes the teacher asked us to buy a reading book , I think it was one of university textbook and we just read it at the end of class in a short time and we repeated it to each other by heart . It was helpful and it helped us to improve our speaking skills . I know it 's a bit old fashioned and now a days English teacher don't recommend it but my father always persuaded me to memorize some pages of English texts. By this way , As you have to read a text many times you will learn some structure automatically , although it 's really boring .2- We listen and read Tactics for listening , as you know it 's a three volume book for different levels with American accent and it was really helpful for my listening skills . 3- There are some vocabulary books and they help learners to improve their vocabulary . But you know it 's a good idea to read and study a few units for each session compulsory . We had to do it with one of our strict teacher . But you know I can study those books just when my English classes are off . For example I bought a book for phrasal verbs but I could just study 9 units of it in new year holiday and now I think I have forgotten all of them . 4- And finally I fond listening stories very helpful for our listening and improving our pronounciation .Before , I have read lots of book but I had never pay attention much to the new words and phrases but when we had it as our lesson( in our last course ) I took it seriously and it was more fruitful for me . I noticed that how much one of my classmate 's accent has improved just with listening to that story ( That 's the fact ) .That 'll and sorry for being long winded .
Plus : Here are the addresses for the BBC LE site , please take a look at them and give us your opinion about them :

Dear Mahsa
The meaning of education or training is the preparing Children for a healthy life. What does the healthy life mean? It means healthy body, healthymind and ability to make healthy communication.
Do teacher provide it?
Teachers have a huge responsibility, they can make students interested in education or not. Therefore we see how this job has its own difficulties, and who should be chosen for it. Our male teachers have to work a lot to manage their economic problems, and females are involved in their house’s duties. so they have no free time to study and pass some new courses for increasing their knowlage.When they teach more than about 200 students at the sametime,how they can know all of them and their problems one by one
By the way this assay is a part of my opinion in general about teacher and training as a quick answer to this question: Although most of students like teachers who aren’t serious and strike think they are wrong because a serious and strike teacher could be a friendly active teacher just like you! Thank you for everything you have taught me.
Happy teacher’s day!
Yours sincerely
Homa
Dear Homa ,

I `m proud of being your classmate .

Hi my freinds
What a beautiful ideas & I think I fall behind my friends.
At first I shoud felicitate the teacher's week to our teacher then about the question :
In my mind the best specialities for a good teacher is to be tolerant , kind & strict.
I think now our teacher is the best because motivate us to do somethings to improve our language which is that happened for the first time in our institute .
& now I create a webloge for my self & I hope that you visit me & I'm waitinfg for your comments.
Please don’t take me alone.
thanks
Hi dear mahsa (strict teacher)!!!!!
First before answering your question I want to confess something!
However you are a very serious teacher but I love you so much and I should apologize because of the thing that I want to say! I confess when a playful student makes her teacher angry and more serious (who she loves her) she enjoys so much!!! But you are teacher and I wish you pardon me because of my rudeness!
After all I want to say my idea about learning English. I think sometimes there are some things that we learn but we don’t know the exact reason! Maybe we learn because we love or no! We learn because we have to or neither of them! We have some feelings that it’s in our heart’s, in our minds! And they are some special patterns of a good teacher in our minds that they are personal! But after some years studying in schools and university I had learnt the best one is the strict one! However students like an easy going one but I admire the teachers that don’t pay attention anything only teaching students even if they seem as a giant (ghoul). Finally I confess that you are very good friend, however the strict one!!! I’m so happy that I could post a comment to my dears (my teacher and my friends)!
With regards,
“A playful kish student”
I just wanted to try sth
GOOD TEACHER
I think good teacher is a person who is strict and students learning is important for him/her.a good teacher must be tolerant because it is very hard job.teachers job needs lots of patience.in my opinion for english,teaching with picture and movie,persuade student to read story book , vocabulary in use ,writting about different subject and putting comment is very useful.
And you are good example of the best teacher.
