The role of a teacher means that a teacher is a facilitator and guide in the learning process where they need to motivate their students using different interactive activities within the classroom. It refers that a good teacher is someone who helps students to learn through a variety of roles to play in education process (Harden & Crosby, 2000). Furthermore, there are some principles that teachers need to follow in their classrooms. Firstly, teachers need to assign different learning tasks like summarize and draw conclusions. Students will develop and improve their cognitive skills. Besides, teacher need to reduce their time to talk (TTT) where students should get a chance to talk and practice their communicative competences. Another aspect is that teachers should create climates for learning, students will learn more effectively if they enjoy the activities they are involved in (Harmer, 2007). Finally, teachers should evaluate their students by peer assessment or self assessment in order to improve and measure their knowledge.
In conclusion, in a teaching situation, I would apply different learning styles according to my student needs and preferences where they will be involved in the learning process and they will have some decision making about which activity to do next.
