E-teaching Portfolio

Hello, everybody! My name is Helen. I'm an ordinary English teacher in the lyceum of railway trasport in Chernivtsy. So you must take what follows as purely personal. Here's a list of such things which make English teachers into great ones.  

•  English teachers are passionate. They're passionate about many things - books, literature, theatre and their children in groups. They're people to be reckoned with, people with opinions, people you can't ignore. 

• English teachers are text maniacs. They're always reading something. They'd never say they don't have time to read. When pupils are reading in lessons, these teachers will usually be reading. English teachers work too hard!

• English teachers don't pretend to know everything. They relish being asked questions they can't answer because it gives them something to find out. 

• English teachers love the process of teaching: they like its creative opportunities. They like listening to pupils talking, like watching their drama, reading their stories. T

• English teachers have a powerful emotional impact. You walk out of their lessons feeling you can do things - can read better, write better, think better and even learn better. English teachers nourish our herois.

English teachers are more important than they realize. They teach the most important skills within the most important subject. They remind us of the power of language and the delights of literature. They have an impact beyond their knowledge, influencing generations of young people. 

I believe you are agree with me. If you are not, say your own opinion!
