Native, shmetive,
What a waist of time and thought discussing the subject.
A good teacher is one that motivates learning and is creative enough to
turn
that motivation into action.
If the teacher produces results, that's what we want. But modern
teachers
must also be experts in taking advantage of tools other than the text.
I
wonder how many of our readers really know what I am talking about.
No one has mentioned the worn out methods used in Israel, the lack of
modern
technology and electronic tools that helps us language teachers do the
job
required better. When I was a teacher of Spanish in Connecticut, we
used
methods unheard of here They were extremely successful. When I tell my
colleagues about what we did 35 years ago, they think I am talking
about the
year 4.000 AD.
I know plenty of native English teachers who are teaching the language
not
because they have been trained as language teacher but because they are
"Native". They do a very mediocre job.
Let me read about how we can be more effective in the class. There are
so
many tools available on CD's and the Internet. Schools I have worked in
suffer from lack of knowledge on the part of both teachers and
administrators especially the latter - they control the monies.
