 ANSWER N0# 1 CHARACTERISTICS OF AN IDEAL TEACHER
An ideal teacher is like a role-model in the life of every student whom he loves to follow blindly.
A good teacher helps students almost in every walks of life to achieve their goals. He is one
whom a student fondly remembers even after he leaves the institute. Even in our ancient
literature, the role of teacher has been described as more than God in the life of a teacher.
However, not every teacher can be called an ideal teacher. He needs some special qualities to
achieve this level. In order to be an ideal teacher one must have:

Passion for Teaching

A good teacher should be passionate about teaching. He should understand the psychology of the
students and should try to mold even an inattentive student into an attentive one. They should be
eager to influence students' lives and leave a long lasting impact.

Love for Students

He should love working with students and treat them as his own children. He should be impartial
and teach every student without any bias. He should be attentive to one and all and try to bring
out the best out of them.

A Magnetic Personality
The personality of an ideal teacher should be such that can easily draw the attention of every
student towards him. He should create such an impact that every student would love to attend his
class.

Strong Rapport with Students

He should develop a strong rapport with every student and create such a bond of love and
affection that every student would trust him and think him to be their real well-wisher.
Effective Discipline Skills
A good teacher should know how to maintain proper discipline in the class without reprimanding
the students. He should be able to create a positive atmosphere of learning and teaching in the
classroom.

Good Classroom Management Skills

An ideal teacher should possess good classroom management skills. He should have a fair
knowledge of students' psychology. It would help him manage his class more effectively and
grow better learning habits amongst the students.

Teaching Style
He should have a lucid style of teaching so that the students should never feel bored. He should
encourage the students to ask questions related to the topic to clear their doubts, if any.

Strong Command over Subject Matter

This is one of the aspects where a good teacher never compromises. An ideal teacher should
possess a strong command over his subject. He should always keep himself updated with the
latest development in the fields of education and increase his knowledge based upon the latest
trends. It would help him to answer every question of the students and, in turn, make the subject
interesting for them.

Clear Objectives for Every Lesson

A great teacher should always have a clear objective in mind about the lesson he is about to teach
in the class and ensures that the objective is met at the end of the period.

Good Communication Skills

A great teacher should have good communication skills. He should have regular interactions with
parents/guardians of the students and should keep them informed about the progress of the
students on different issues. He should also inform them if ever he notices any drawbacks or
weaknesses in any of them and suggest correctional measures.

ANSWER N0# 2 INDUCTIVE AND DEDUCTIVE METHODS OF TEACHING

Inductive Approach

The inductive method of teaching means that the teacher presents the rule through situations and
sentences and does guided practice, then the learners do free practice. After that, the teacher
deduces or elicits the rule form from the learners themselves by themselves. An inductive
approach to teaching language starts with examples and asks learners to find rules. It can be
compared with a deductive approach that starts by giving learners rules, then examples, then
practice.

Example
Learners listen to a conversation that includes examples of the use of the third conditional. The
teacher checks that the students understand the meaning of its use through checking learners'
comprehension of the listening text, and only after this focuses on the form, using the examples
from the text to elicit rules about the form, its use and its pronunciation.

In the classroom

Inductive approaches to presenting new language are commonly found in course books, and form
part of a general strategy to engage learners in what they learn. Some learners may need
introduction to inductive approaches since they may be more familiar, and feel more
comfortable, with a deductive approach

Deductive Approach

A deductive approach to teaching language starts by giving learners rules, then examples, then
practice. It is a teacher-centered approach to presenting new content. This is compared with an
inductive approach, which starts with examples and asks learners to find rules, and hence is more
learner-centered.

Example

The form and use of the third conditional is explained to learners, then they have a gap-fill
exercise to complete, then prepare their own examples.
In the classroom

The deductive approach may be suitable with lower level learners who need a clear base from
which to begin with a new language item, or with learners who are accustomed to a more
traditional approach and so who lack the training to find rules themselves.

ANSWER N0# 03 LESSON PLANNING

Planning ahead to identify a course of action that can effectively help learners reach their goals
and objectives is an important first step in effective instruction. Lesson planning communicates
to learners what they will learn and how their goals will be assessed, and it helps instructors
organize content, materials, time, instructional strategies, and assistance in the class-room. A
lesson plan is a teacher’s detailed description of the course of instruction or ‘learning trajectory
‘for a lesson. A daily lesson plan is developed by a teacher to guide class learning.

Details may vary depending on the preference of the teacher, subject being covered, and the
needs of the students. There may be requirements mandated by the school system regarding the
plan. A lesson plan is the teacher’s guide for running the particular lesson, and it includes the
goal( what the students are supposed to learn), how the goal will be reached( the method,
procedure) and a way of measuring how well the goal was reached ( test, worksheets, homework
etc. Every teacher is required to prepare a lesson plan because this is considered as guide for the
day’s lessons. Lesson planning is important because it gives the teacher a concrete direction of
what she/he wants to take up for the day.

Lesson planning is important because it helps teachers ensure that the day-to-day activities that
go on in their classrooms are providing students with an adequate level of long –term progress
toward the goals outlined in their scope and sequence, as well as their individual education plans
when necessary.

An effective lesson plan includes several elements: learning objectives, quality questions,
supplies and activities. It is important to have the learning objectives in mind because those
should drive the development and implementation of all activities in the classroom. Quality
questions are inquiries that the teacher plans to direct at the students over the course of the

lesson.
