Task 1 – List 5 qualities that a ‘good’ teacher should have and give Unit 19
reasons for your choices. Which of these qualities do you consider to be Unit 18
more important, and why?
Unit 17

1. Ability to motivate learners Unit 16

It has been my experience that without motivation the mind just won’t Unit 15
obtain information. An example of this is when people are working a job Unit 14
they don’t enjoy; they won’t be very good at it.
Unit 13

2. Distinguished knowledge of his/her subject Unit 12

It is very easy to pick up on someone who doesn’t know what they are Unit 11
talking about and once you do then your concentration goes elsewhere. Unit 10
Unit 9
3. Ability to involve all students equally throughout a lesson
Some students are outspoken and others aren’t but all need to be Unit 8
involved if they wish to learn. Unit 7
Unit 6
4. Ability to correct students without offending them or affecting their
Unit 5
motivation
If your manner when correcting a student isn’t enthusiastic then the Unit 4
student might not try so hard next time or possibly not try at all. Unit 3
Unit 2
5. Possess knowledge of student weaknesses and try to give help and
Unit 1
individual attention where necessary
An eye for detail is important and often separates good employees from
bad ones. About Me

Task 3 – List 5 qualities you would expect to find in a ‘good’ learner.

Which of these qualities do you consider to be more important, and
why?

1. A desire to learn
Students who want to learn generally will if they apply themselves

2. A willingness to listen to the language

It’s impossible to speak English if you haven’t heard it first

3. A willingness to experiment with the language

Trial and error plays an important part of any learning curve
4. An acceptance of error correction
In my opinion this shows an eagerness to move forward

5. A willingness to ask questions

Allows the student who’s asking the questions to verify their command
of the language, other people listening and not asking will also learn but
won’t fill in their own gaps.

Task 4 – What are some of the major differences you would expect to
find between adult and young learners?

Adults
Higher attention span
More life experience
Highly motivated
Nervous
Bad habits

Young Learners
Open minded
Unwilling to take risks
Self-conscious
Receptive
Less disciplined

Task 5 – List the levels of language ability that learners are often
grouped into and give a brief summation of each level:

Beginners
A visual introduction into English

Elementary
Basic sentence structures and simple topics

Low / pre-intermediate
Ability to communicate but with many errors even with basic structures

Intermediate
Can communicate on many topics but lack accuracy and fluency

Upper Intermediate
Highly motivated and can communicate on all topics but still lacking
accuracy

Advanced
Often believe they have reached their peak so they require
encouragement. These students are more responsible for their own
learning.

Task 6 – Give as many reasons as possible why students are motivated to

study English:
 To assist with traveling
For their career
Ability to speak with colleagues and friends
To increase their grades
To study in a foreign country
General interest
