Good morning/ afternoon ，everyone.
First of all, learning from other teachers contributes to the improvement of our teaching. When I began my career a few years ago, I was such a green hand that I felt at a loss what to do. I consulted the experieced collegues at my school and they gave me valuable advice. Without their help, I would not have learned how to prepare good lessons and manage class well. I attended their classes and watched how they conducted their lessons. Though their teaching styles may vary, efficency is achieved in every class. After they attended my classes, they not only offered me feasible suggestions, but encouraged me greatly as well. Apart from experienced teachers, I even learn a lot from my peers. Every teacher is unique in his teaching and there is always something in their teaching worth learning. What I learned from them is much more practical than I learned from teaching textbooks.
Secondly, language teaching requires continuous learning for the simple reason that language itself is constantly changing. Language is updated every day. New words and expressions spring up in all sorts of media. Even the grammar of a language is on the way to changing. Our textbooks are adapted each term to keep up with the latest trend. How can an outdated teach the brand new languageOn top of this, it is an undeniable fact that there is really something we may not understand fully concerning a certain area of the language we teach. Therefore, to teach well we need to learn well ourselves. Today I am glad to be here taking part in the speech purpose of my coming is to share my understanding on teaching with all the experts present and my fellow teachers rather than display my talent or win a prize. My topic today is Teaching is learning.I’d like to state my viewpoint in the following three aspects.
Last but not least, it is required that a qualified language teacher should never stop learning in order to establish a close rapprot with the students. The new curriculum demands that our teaching shoud be students-oriented. A harmonious relationship will undoubtedly lead to better teaching results. If we fall behind the times, how can we have much in common with the students and shorten the gap between usIn this global information age, everyone needs to learn to keep updated and we teachers are no exception. So as a capable teacher, we need to learn something about everything and know everything about something. A learned teacher will never fail to communicate with his or her students well.
From the above, we can draw a conclusion that the process of teaching is also the process of learning. Learning never ends. Let’s live and learn.
Thanks for listening.
