Basic Function of Teacher "GIFEMEOSME"

The teacher is the most powerful person in the classroom. There are many ways for the teacher to use that power. These are the most important thing that need to be taken care of:

Guidance: learners need a helping hand to discover ne things and to practice new skills

Information: Learners need sources of extra information about what they are learning which they can call on as required.

Feedback: learner need to know how close they are getting to their targets. Was that meaning clear? Was the verb correct?

Encouragement: Learners need to feel that the language is developing inside them even if what they are producing at the moment seems unlike Standard English.

Modeling: learners need to be shown new things, and shown how to do new things.

Organization: learners must feel that their activity is purposeful, that they are putting their efforts into a framework they can trust. Learner need just enough structure so that they feel supported, and just enough freedom so that they have room for themselves to grow.

Security: If learners feel safe, they will be more able to take part in the lesson. If they feel that everyone in class, including the teacher, is on the same side, they may risk making mistake that they can learn from.

Motivation: Some learners will be motivated to learn for external reason, which is a big help, but all learners need to be involved in class work. This happens best when they are motivated by interesting task, when they experience success, and when they see the relevance of class work to their outside lives.

Evaluation: Some learners have external standards that must be reached, important examination t pass or fail. They need to know where they stand.
