Good afternoon, everyone. I am very honored to make a speech. I am Christy from Meishan Middle School. First I ‘d like you to think about the question: Do you become a teacher by chance? That’s what happened to me! English was my favorite subject when I was a middle school student. I felt so cool when I won the first prize of NEPCS in 1997. After that everyone said to me:“Hey,Why not become an English teacher?” So I did! Actually, I liked teaching very soon. I like teaching and learning with the children. Sometimes they are my students; sometimes they are my younger brothers or sisters. Sometimes they are even my fans because I can sing many pop songs in the class! But I have to say: to be an English teacher is not easy. Why? Teacher-centered controls, threats make no sense to students now! No one can be forced to learn without a desire to learn! I am so eager to find out a good way. But what are they? Nowadays, the use of tasks is commonplace.
But I as well as other teachers is wondering: my syllabus is based on an old-fashioned textbook and is also exam-driven. How do I structure lessons by using tasks? Should I tell my students: “Today your task is to listen to me" or “Yourtask is to finish part a on page 5".Everything is unchanged, isn’t it? What makes Task? A unit of grammar? No! A collection of lexical items? No! After a long time study, I begin to know that task is a means of learning the language by its real use! Now, I’d like to give an actual example for you. That is Unit 5 a letter in a bottle from New Way Book 3 I had this lesson in the internet-equipped classroom. Each student has a computer .The target language includes shall, let’s do, writing letters.
Word competition and on-_line exercise are the pre-tasks. Next, three during-tasks. Task 1:group-work. Discuss a plan about where to go during the national day, practise the target language: shall. Task 2. Go to a teenager website to make foreign pen friends by the e-mail. Task 3: write a letter to the students of our school to call on them to donate to Project of Hope the post task comes last, Ss read English news about Wangpeng who lost his life in a hostage crisis in Pakistan, and write to Annan the U.N head to call for peace As you see, in this class, task-based method creates a student-centered learning environment and information technology plays an important part. We should try to be as flexible as possible in choosing the teaching techniques. Now, Dear friends, I would like you to think about our own task. What makes a good English teacher? Just years of little sleep, over-work? Just like the candle that burns out to help others? No! We should develop ourselves, both professionally and personally. Most importantly, we should love our students. In my heart, my students are the most powerful striving for me to work harder. I love my students! I love teaching! Before finishing my speech, I would like to say: to be an English teacher is the best choice in my life. I shall do all I can to be a good English teacher! That’s all. Thanks for your attention!
i am new in the teaching world. many excellent educators have each taught me something and shown me how to look at education as a wonderful and life changing experience. today i just want to present my own understanding towards teaching from the following three aspects.
first, teaching makes learning as a life long process possible.
learning is a life long process. it is something you never stop doing. people learn differently and at different rates. you learn many new things everyday. to install a love of learning and the desire to always want to learn new things is a necessary job for a teacher to do. it is very important to show the children your goals as a life long learner. we need make every student realize the importance of learning.
second, teaching needs effective methods to make it successful.
sela cont, a third grade student from america identified a teacher like this: what is a good teacher? i think a teacher should be good at explaining things. a teacher should be fun but challenging. a good teacher should be organized. i like a teacher who teaches fun activities in class and not just writing on paper.
from this we may be aware that if a child does not feel safe and secure in the classroom he will not be learning to the best of their potential. and this required us to bring out the best in a child, to make learning a fun and exciting experience. learning should be something the students want to actively participate in. if a teacher makes the learning experience exciting, then the students will be excited along with you. the way of teaching is not unique for a professional. various teaching methods are wanted. and there will be a wonderful opportunity to learn and grow from each other. the environment surrounding the children is a primary factor in leading them toward their full, creative potential.
once you have taken a class idea, smoothed out all the bumps, and proven it is a winner, you will find new ways and places with eager new students waiting for you to show up. teaching is supposed to be the system that removes barriers and provides a solid base for achievement. it is wrong to replace one set of barriers with another. for example, pressuring students to accept the status quo, by establishing a fear to be different and a fear of failure, kill creativity. independent thinking should replace dependency. in some cases, pressure to excel in academics kills ethics, loyalty and motivation, skills needed for success in the real world. so the more useful teaching methods there are in a class, the more effective the teaching is.
third, teaching can be a wonderful occupation that can contribute to your growth as well as to the growth of your students.
as a theorist pointed out, assertive discipline being used in the classroom is helpful. it is believed that children have the right to learn and no child should be taken that right away from them. it focused on t
he rights of the teacher and the students. the students know what is expected of them and the consequences if they do not follow the rules. as a teacher my purpose is to give students the tools needed to get them through life. when a student comes into my classroom they come in with a clean slate. and on the other side, the teacher will face the exciting changes and challenges. if she wants to offer many new things to the class, she must renew her own knowledge. in fact we are both learning, learning from each other.
just as a coin has two sides, when we are teaching our students, we are at the same time learning something from them. “if there is anything we wish to change in a child, we should first examine it and see whether it is not something that could be better changed in ourselves.”

good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, it’s a great honor to speak here: i am an english teacher.
people often say: teacher is the engineer of human spirit. last september, i became a teacher. how to become a real teacher? this is the first difficulty that i come across in my career. at first, i felt so good and fun to stay with so many lovely students, then i integrated with them, and soon, the problem came out. if a teacher can’t set up her dignity in front of the students, it will make the class teaching more difficult. in my lessons, the students often kept on talking, acting, and asking questions. what should i do? i can’t get along with them like this any more. i must be strict with them. pay more attention to what should be praised, what should be criticized. any carelessness is not permitted. at last, the class discipline became better.
nowadays, the importance of learning english is obvious. the world becomes globalization and unify. the association of each country is closer and closer. people call the earth as a global village. english is the first current language in the international world. the communication of politics, economy and culture is upon english. as we know, we will take a beating if we lay behind. how to catch up with the world? that is, study english well to gain the first hand data. the entrance of wto, the olympic games which will be held in 2008, shows that we must learn english well as quickly as possible. forcing study won’t stay in the heart, feeding knowledge into the brain won’t get a good result, and high mark isn’t our teaching goal. to get a satisfied effect, we should make the students learn on their own initiative. how to make them feel interested in studying english? i think the key point is the teaching design. it must be vivid and vigorous. we can change our study contents into games, performances, competitions and so on. let them believe english is easy and funny.
as the step of history is advancing, the demand of english teaching is changeable. the junior students are not what we know as before. they have a lot of knowledge, and are good at combining english with other subjects, such as history, geography, physics, chemistry and so on. their english level is higher than what we thought. many of them started learning english in their primary school. so english teacher should pursue advanced studies constantly, and master the latest teaching materials and methods to meet today’s demands.
i feel very happy to be an english teacher. i will do my best to teach english well with my knowledge, my patience and my enthusiasm. make chinese speak english better, and show their ability and talent in the world stage. i am proud to tell you: i am an english teacher.
