教师在英语课堂中的角色_英语论文

The Teacher’s Roles in ELT Classes

摘要

ELT,英语教学的缩写,是针对第一语言不是英语的人的英语教学。如今,英语教学更关注交际能力，因此老师的角色也不同于传统角色。本文讨论并分析教师在英语教学中扮演的不同角色,包括老师的传统角色和现代角色。一个优秀的老师除了传递信息,而且还要充当导师,评估员,参与者，学习者等角色，指导文化教学和道德修养。

在素质教育背景下，现有的教学模式已发生了巨大的变化，,教师的角色也应随之改变。教师应考虑影响英语教学的不同认知因素,有效因素以及社会因素,因为每个学生都是完整和动态的个体。教师必须有让学生取得学术成就的专业素养，通过鼓励和激励学生来促进他们学习,并为他们提供舒适的学习环境。语言教师也应该注意培养学生对不同文化的正确态度。此外,教师本身是学习者。

Nowadays, ELT pays more attention to the ability of communication. So the teacher’s roles are different from the ones before. This paper mainly has a discussion about the multiple roles that teachers play in ELT classes, including the teacher’s roles in traditional ELT classes and in modern ones, and make an analysis of them. The good teacher never merely works as a deliverer of information, but takes on the roles as a mentor, an assessor, facilitator, a participant, a director in cultural teaching and morality, and a learner as well.

Because of the requirements of quality education，there have been great changes happening in the existing teaching mode, so the roles of the teacher should change accordingly. The teacher is supposed to take into consideration different the cognitive, effective as well as social factors that involve English language teaching, because every individual student is an integrated and dynamic body. Teachers must be full of proficiency to enable their students to make some academic achievements. Then they are supposed to facilitate learning by encouraging and motivating students and providing them with a comfortable learning environment. Language teachers are also supposed to pay attention to foster the right attitudes of students towards different cultures. Moreover, teachers themselves are learners as well.
