Teaching students

A. Introduction It is not uncommon to say that grammar instruction plays an important role in language teaching. Regarding the status and importance of grammar teaching, a variety of opinions have been made. Batstone (1994) states that “language without grammar would be chaotic: countless words without the indispensable guidelines for how they can be ordered and modified” (p. 4). More vividly, Wang (2010) makes two similes. She compares grammar to the frame of a house, which is a decisive factor

Comparison of Teaching Styles The nurse educators are faced with the challenge of adapting their teaching styles to accommodate a new generation of learners. An effective teacher should take into account the intellectual, social, and cultural characteristics of each student, whereas the students should identify that each teacher has a unique style of teaching. As part of the classroom-online teaching practicum course, I was privileged to shadow an instructor at the University of South Florida

letter to apply for the teaching assistantship at Eastern Washington University. During my time in the Army I discovered a love for teaching and am currently continuing that passion through substitute teaching at the high school level. The assistantship position would allow me to build on my four years of teaching experience, learn new teaching methodologies, and prepare me to teach at the college level upon my completion of my M.F.A. I have a variety of formal teaching experience outside the writing

When I took the surveys, I surprised to see how even-keeled my teaching and classroom management styles were. Before student teaching, I had a general idea of what my ideal teaching style and classroom management techniques would look like. However, I have realized that a combination of several teaching styles may be beneficial for students because each student has particular needs for the classroom. According to the teaching style inventory, I can be described as a facilitator first and foremost

a high academic standard and therefore I will be able to provide insights to students who have similar learning strategies and styles as I have, hence enhancing their learning experience and allowing them to achieve better learning outcome. My effective learning strategies in writing notes may influence my teaching strategy in which I may be more likely to set written tasks for students. This will influence the students to have more writing experience and practice on their writing

Teaching Reflection Thoughts about Teaching and Learning Before teaching this semester, I had previously taught 6th grade. Teaching 6th graders is extremely different than teaching college students. For example, teaching 6th graders requires more classroom management and more extensive classroom procedures. Therefore, before teaching, I thought that teaching was less about content of the course and more about teaching life lessons. For example, when teaching middle school math, of course the content

Not about teaching, but about the subject they are teaching. Their passion shows through in their work. These types of educators capture the students' attention when they are teaching. The teacher being excited to pass on the knowledge gets the students engaged. Since the teacher is passionate the cons of teaching don't show through in their work. Teachers can become run down and overwhelmed; since an outstanding educator is passionate the positives

adults. (National Institute of Mental Health). Many college students suffer from anxiety stemming from a range of classroom dynamics, from teaching styles to a student’s studying habits and lack of confidence can affect a student. Anxiety doesn’t always impact a student’s learning capacity, though it may hinder the process of grasping new concepts. Many educators find themselves adjusting their teaching styles, to maximize their students’ learning capabilities. Professors understand the stress and

the book is: “good teaching cannot be reduced to technique; good teaching comes identity and integrity of the teacher.” Through the first chapter Palmer talks about good teachers make themselves vulnerable and available to be of service to their students. He also says that bad teachers are the ones who make themselves distant and disconnected from the class and their students. Palmer says that a teacher must have a strong sense of self before he can impart his knowledge on students, to deepen the understanding

mathematics teacher, and how he uses diagrams, questions, and other methods to guide his students to a better understanding. Throughout his case study, Harris’ methods could be easily compared to that of the Effective Mathematics Teaching Practices. There are eight mathematical teaching practices that support student learning, most of which are performed throughout Randy Harris’ lesson. Harris didn’t perform each teaching practice perfectly, despite doing the majority of them throughout his lessons. The
