Professional Development For Language Teachers مقاله

"c. How does a teacher of a foreign language use that language genuinely outside the school environment? It is important that teachers of a foreign language develop a feeling towards the language they teach: The feeling that what they teach is not merely a school subject to be taught and used in a classroom. The root of the problem, as I see it, lies in the fact that we as teachers of English as a foreign language, most often, maybe, always take it as a school subject, and rarely, maybe never, take it as a real language used unconsciously for information or pleasure. Better question to leave you with is: how can a teacher strike a harmonious note between himself and the students? Course organizers argue for and explain; student-teachers get excited about, and make up their minds not to walk into their classrooms without one when they start teaching."
