Question

how can i improve my teaching skills？

Answer 1

maybe yes maybe no and it depends

Answer 2

Use humour...search for interesting articles, videos, teaching materials, comic books, brain-teasing questions. Students love to start the lesson with something interesting and light-hearted.

Be an excellent storyteller. Students are very drawn to teachers who can tell a good story. The story doesn't necessarily have to be related to the lesson topic. It's intended to capture their attention.

Lay out your lesson objectives to your students before you begin each lesson. Having your objectives written clearly on the whiteboard will help the students and you track the progress of the lesson better.

Speak at an audible volume level. Students don't like to read lips and if they really have to resort to that, they'll switch off.

Make your lessons interactive. Don't make your lessons overly teacher-centred (I teach, you listen). Employ different techniques of getting the students involved in the teaching. You could try peer teaching, student taking on the role as the teacher for 10 mins, group presentation etc.

Prepare mini quizes at the final 10 mins of each lesson to assess the students' level of understanding. Make the quizes easy because that will boost their morale and psyche them into thinking that your goals for them are easily achievable.

At the end of each quiz, tell the students to jot down, at the bottom of the quiz sheet, thoughts and feelings for the day. It's easy to build rapport with each student that way and keep track of their emotional needs as well.

Discipline when you have to, but use effective methods that don't disrupt the lesson too much. (Note: Don't use sarcasm too much, that will affect the students' morale and inflict fear in some unnecessarily.)

Answer 3

Easy, keep an open mind. Always stay current on the research. Keep going to profressional development trainings and always observe and take what works. As a teacher I am always stealing techniques, reading and experiments.

Answer 4

1. Take a deep breath in, exhale slowly.
2. Practice, practice, and more practice.
3.Thorough preparation also helps a lot. If you have the material, tell it in front of the mirror (or your relative, who you know really well).
4. Good luck!

Answer 5

class participation was always a plus for me. When the student feels they are contributing to the knowledge of others they will have a feeling of accomplishment.

Answer 6

relate to the students..i had a speech teacher who spoke to us as individuals rather than an audience..it helps pay attention..take a speech class you'll see what i mean.
