How to be a successful English Teacher at Junior High School

Last week, Mr. M came to our class and talked about Junior High School and how to teach English.I knew and thought many things. So I would like to write them based on Mr.M' talk and my experience.

1.Teacher should teach along with development of students' ability.It is important to give technical English knowledge and explanation to students. But sometimes they confuse students. M0re important thins are that students can get interested in English, and unedrstand and use English they learn. For them it is not always effective to give technical knowledge and explanation.Theacher should arrange and contrive the contents they teach students and way of teaching.
My English teacher at Junior High School taught us English with her original handout. She used easy words, some diagrams. Sometimes she used real persons and characters we were interested in. Her handout helped us to get inretested in Englih and unederstand English well.

2.I would like students to enjoy learning and thinking, but it is not easy. Because there are various students in the school. For example, they are active or passive, like teachers or not, like studying or not. Moreover some students at junior High School are defiant of adults. So I think it is important for teacher to consider each student's character and attitude in order to give them good learning and form good relationship with them.

Mr.M advised us to experience various things. It gives good influences to our life and helps us in various aspects when we bacome teacher. This idea was impressive for me.
