Activity 3.1

The teacher should not always stand at the front in class: 

~he/she will not notice which learners are not participating

~it is advised to give activities that will engage every learner.

~teacher to move around the class  to individual learners, or pair, or group activities, giving guidance, acknowledge, answering questions, and offering suggestions to those in need.


Learners should not  always work in silence: ~

~it is difficult to notice if there is learning taking place. Others could be reading something else.

~allow learners time to discuss, consult, among themselves. It could be in pairs, or groups.

Hi Jack,

Thanks  for sharing you posting on the point: The teacher should not always stand at the front in class: 

Your and my post helped confirm that the roles of teachers in modern classrooms are truly changing. Teachers are no longer lecturers, they are facilitators, their main task is to set goals and organize the learning process accordingly. They are now exposed to a National Curriculum, a Core Curriculum and a local (school) curriculum that they have to consider, but - on the other hand - they have independence to choose the teaching materials (textbook), make up a syllabus of their own and teach their pupils so that they can perform well both at examinations and in life. This is according to the article ‘The role of teachers in the 21st century’ (Szucs U. É., 2009).
