The problems I encountered will be discussed; and their relation to establishing where my wealth of primary teaching experience aligns with English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching approaches.

In response to the general questions at the beginning of the questionnaire that were intended as straightforward factual questions to slide the subjects gently into discussion, it was shown that there is a breadth of teaching experience as expected. The minimum length of time teaching was five years and the longest was thirty-eight years. However, because two of the respondents had been employed in careers other than teaching the length of service did not mirror the age profile. This is significant in that this is an established team who has previously worked through many changes together. There was a range of responsibilities in terms of both subject expertise and responsibilities in terms of pay scale i.e. there were responses from teachers on the main pay scale, upper scale and from teachers with teaching and learning responsibility points.
I respectfully agree with your statement regarding the obligation that a psychiatrist is still considered a health care official, and as such, should treat their patient who is suffering from a mental illness. It is their duty, regardless if the patient is an inmate or not. However, when a physician is tasked with the forceful application of medication, one must consider that their job is not to decide the inmate’s capacity of understanding and determining if they can be executed on the spot. Aiding in the facilitation of the inmate’s execution is unethical and will transgress the oath they had pledged in the beginning of their career: “do no harm”. What I must disagree with your statement, is that a psychiatrist or any medical personnel

The case represents the competitive issues faced by a creative, innovative, and a well-established airline, Delta Airlines Company, which had successfully earned a reputable name in the airline industry with all its significant efforts. The company started its operations in the year 1928 and with the help of strong and effective leadership, the company successfully gained access to new routes, which ultimately resulted in the increased revenues for the company. The industry is filled with the number of competitors including the low cost carriers as well as the legacy carriers. However, the company is one of oldest company in the industry, which significantly helps in recovering from the major challenges occurred in the overall economy. The company over the years had a strong focus on the customer’s satisfaction that helped in the recovery of US Federal Airline Deregulation Act in 1978, which was coupled with recession in early 1980s. Both the issues have negatively affected the overall industry in form of heavy losses. From the financial analysis, it can be seen that underlying company in this report with effective management, turned to profitability in 1990s.
The professional development of a teacher can be a challenging task yet not impossible. During the process of this course I have learned how to face this challenge. However developing my own ideas and style of language teaching is still a work in progress. As a prospective language teacher I take in all methods and principles this course as given me. In doing so I believe it will make me a better professional. This course has presented me with some thoughts ELT teachers need to have once the period of formal training is over.
