It is said that a good student makes a good University, but the teachers are the tools for the students through which to feel interest in the subject being taught.
I found out over many years of work that in order for the student to interact with the teacher, there needs to happen a close relationship between students and teacher; a free environment for communication, and undoubtedly a desire, respectively, of teaching and learning.
With the right approach the teacher may help an average student to become a top student, so communication and interaction with my students is, I would say, a constant in my views of what authentic teaching is.
Here are some of the communication techniques that I use in the classroom:
1- Warming up the class, asking how the students are feeling, making some comments about the weather forecast ,etc. 2- Students acting in role playing and the rest of the class evaluating these students. 3- Start the lesson in the book, scheduled for the day. 4- Several students reading passages and interpreting their reading. 5- The whole class taking part in a discussion usually in groups, supervised by myself, going from group to group listening and helping.
