Quality teachers are essential to ensure students' identity. An excellent teacher will
produce brilliant students. A teacher needs to carry out the teaching and learning
process effectively to ensure that students understand the learning and are able to
apply the skills learned in everyday life. Especially in second language subjects that
most students find it difficult to understand. As Malaysian, our second language is
English. So, English language teachers must be creative so that classroom learning
is more effective. Effective means successful in producing a desired or intended
result. The question is how to become an effective teacher?
First, the English teacher must encourage the students to keep study.
Encouragement is very important to encourage students to continue to study without
feeling tired. Based on my experience, the interest in English which is the second
language never fades away because it always has the support from the teacher. My
teacher always gives advice and motivation when giving up because failing in the
English language exam. When the teacher realized I was not good at English, he
focused on me until I can speaking and writing in English, answer questions in
English and be a good listener when someone speaking something in English. So,
any encouragement such as advice, motivation, concentration and so on can
encourage the students to continue to learn without giving up thus making the
learning environment conducive in an effective manner.
Finally, an effective teacher needs to appreciate all the work done by his
students. Based on my experience, a student who is rewarded by his teacher will
always be eager to continue learning activities even though the results are just as
small. For example, my English teacher gave me a pencil when I passed the final
exam. Besides, he gives a nice cop whenever I finish his schoolwork. The students
are very happy and feel loved to accept even a small gift from their teacher, this
makes them also love their teacher and earnestly doing homework given to them.
Teachers and students need to love each other for a conducive learning environment
and effective teaching.
In a nut shell, a quality teacher must have integrity in itself. Leadership is very
important in the teaching profession to guide students to success in the future. Good
teachers always encourage students to continue to learn by using effective
pedagogical methods. The use of technology is also important to give exposure to
today's students and teachers need to reward each work done by the students. I
have been through all these experiences, so I am convinced this way teachers can
provide guidance more effectively.
