The Assessor
The teacher assumes this role to see how well students are
performing or how well they performed. Feedback and correction
is organized and carried out.
There are a variety of ways we can grade learners, the role of
an assessor gives teachers an opportunity to correct learners.
The Controller
The teacher is in complete charge of the class, what students
do, what they say and how they say it. The teacher assumes this
role when new language is being introduced and accurate
reproduction and drilling techniques are needed.
The Participant
This role improves the atmosphere in the class when the
teacher takes part in an activity. However, the teacher takes a risk
of dominating the activity when performing it.
Here the teacher can enliven a class; if a teacher is able to
stand back and not become the center of attention, it can be a
great way to interact with learners without being too
overpowering.
The Prompter
The teacher encourages students to participate and makes
suggestions about how students may proceed in an activity. The
teacher should be helping students only when necessary.
The Organizer
Perhaps the most difficult and important role the teacher has
to play. The success of many activities depends on good
organization and on the students knowing exactly what they are to
do next. Giving instructions is vital in this role as well as setting up
activities.
The Resource
The teacher is a kind of walking resource center ready to offer
help if needed, or provide learners with whatever language they
lack when performing communicative activities. The teacher must
make her/himself available so that learners can consult her/him
when (and only when) it is absolutely necessary.
The Tutor
The teacher acts as a coach when students are involved in
project work or self-study. The teacher provides advice and
guidance and helps students clarify ideas and limit tasks.
This role can be a great way to pay individual attention to a
student. It can also allow a teacher to tailor make a course to fit
specific student needs.
