A REBEL's Views on Teaching
Tell me and I forget,
teach me and I remember,
involve me and I understand...
benjamin franklin
One of the needs of today's language teacher, i believe, is to incorporate the 'involvement' of the student in meaningful responses in the language class. Diagnostic tests, i suppose, have a great say in the assessment of the language ability of the student. Diagnostic tests not only serve to have a glimpse into the student's language competency, but also serve to build an action plan to suit the needs of the target audience. AS a teacher of English, over the past four years, i had the opportunity of experimenting with the diagnostic aspect of teaching, which, believe me, worked wonders in an otherwise unfocussed teaching environment.
The teacher, i believe, is not an imparter of knowledge, but a facilitator of the learning process, giving the maximum time to the THIRD EYE of the student, or rather deriving the maximum mileage from the third eye of the Language student.
