English teachers take on many roles and require certain personal qualities to be successful in teaching English as a foreign language. The most important qualities include organization, kindness and patience.These qualities should be used everyday in the classroom setting with each and every student. These qualities can determine the quality of your teaching. Being organized is one of the most important roles that a teacher takes on in the classroom. Within a TEFL course, there are many different activities used to engage the student. It is important for the teacher to come into class prepared and organized when administering different activities. Tasks such as group/pair work, giving instructions, organizing feedback and closing activities require a lot of organization to conduct the class efficiently. Some classes include students of different stages in learning english. In this scenario a teacher needs to be very organized in order to effectively aid in each students learning. The students may need to be given separate work or be paid in certain groups based on their learning level. ESL lessons are structured in a specific way. These lessons have to be organized so that in each stage of the lessons, the correct activities are given to the students. Kindness goes a long way with students in the classroom. Making students feel welcomed and comfortable can contribute to the success of the overall lesson. Using kindness can warm up the students and naturally cause them to be more reactive in the lesson. One important action that displays kindness is introducing yourself to the class and learning every student’s name. Another thing you can do to make the students’ feel warm and welcomed is ask them a more personal question like naming a hobby or saying their favorite food. If the teacher arrives to class and instantly starts teaching the lesson, the students will most likely feel uncomfortable and more unwilling to to engage and participate in class activities. Kindness is also necessary for correction techniques. Correcting students should be done in a kind way to encourage self awareness and improvement. Patience is another very important quality relating to teaching in the classroom. TEFL teachers are most likely to teach students at different levels and ages. Students at the beginner level possibly have zero knowledge of the English language and require lots of patience to help the students understand. Drilling is required to aid students in learning new words and pronouncing them. Repeating words over and over does require patience and really helps students learn. Another aspect of being patient in the classroom is teaching early teenage years. Early teenagers are often unmotivated and self-conscious. Students need a welcoming, patient teacher to help engage them. Important qualities such as organization, kindness and patience really help to contribute to the overall success of both the teacher and the student. Students are more willing to learn when the teacher has an organized and prepared class, when the teacher is kind and welcoming, and when the teacher is patient with their students and really helps the student learn the language.
