21st Century Teachers - Group 3

I suppose the 21st c. Teachers should follow defined principles not old and useless methods. Also engaging student plays an important role on both the 21st c. And teachers added to the usage of technology. Creativity is another feature which a 21st teacher should possess in lesson planning or other stages.

Finally constant updating as a 21st c.teachers is another point to consider.

Thanks

In my perspective, traditional methods in teaching is outdated.Nowadays,our world is moving toward technology,in other words, there is a rising need to utilize technology in our classes.In a high tech class, teachers attempt to make a difference in each sessions, such as teaching through pair work , playing game,using media,and so on.

It is worth noting that teachers do not need to trach how to use technology to students, but allow them to learn through technology.

Also, as Ms. Panahifar mentioned here , teachers should use different materials in classes as the students like to learn and test different kinds of materials in the process of learning.

To become an effective English teacher in the 21st century, you would need a combination of traditional teaching skills along with modern technology proficiency and a strong understanding of the dynamic nature of the English language. Here are some essential skills: 1. Excellent command of the English language: A comprehensive understanding of grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation is crucial for effective teaching.

 2. Communication skills: Clear and effective communication is important to convey information, explain concepts, and engage students in discussions.

Additionally, being passionate about the English language, having patience, and being open-minded are qualities that can greatly contribute to becoming an effective English teacher in the 21st century.

Hello Dr Motalebzadeh

In my opinion, all of these factors are important and a teacher of 21st century must have all of them but being professional, transformer and therapist are so important and they are the primary features that a teacher should have them. As well as you teach to children you should pay attention to their general mood and if they are tired or something like that, a teacher must motivates them and encourage them to learn better and enjoy learning.

In my opinion, in the 21st century, teachers are dealing with a lot of challenges due to their different types of classes and students. So that, I think, in order to be a professional teacher, it's essential not only to be knowledgeable and updated but also to have a combination of skills and the ability to use them in a proper way in the classroom. And, of course being creative and having the ability to get something from nothing are the most important skills.

Hello Mr.Motallebzade.

1)First of all, in order to be an effective teacher, we must increase our own creativity and innovation because children learn better from physical activities that are in the form of action and work.

2)Then, the use of creative materials that can be created by ourselves, or with devices such as flash cards, etc., or in the form of using modern devices in the new century, including technology, etc.

3)An effective teacher in the classroom should be full of energy and cheerful because the children get energy from that teacher.

4)In all types of classes, a teacher must proceed with the program because all types of personalities in the class are located with different teaching methods, so an effective teacher has a program for all types of learning methods.

5)Making something out of nothing is for a classroom that is unpredictable and stimulating for children.

Acquaintance with new methods and more use of technology is a teacher's up-to-date knowledge, as well as knowledge of learning methods and paying attention to the differences of students in this case and in this century.

Digitally smart

When you want to teach to your students that's essential you know about Technology because your students like it and they know it very well and easy for them.They know something with it.

think we can give up criticizing others and spend more energy on building a positive working environment.

If we put more effort to experiment with different ways of teaching, our learners will see the value of being always open to reinventing oneself to keep up-to-date and stay relevant in a constantly changing world .

I think the most important thing as a 21st century teacher is learning to use technology effectively and encourage the students with attractive digital stuff such as a nice PowerPoint and..

 Also, we need to pay attention not to be controlled and limited by the books.

In god we trust

To be an effective English teacher in the 21st century, you need essential skills:

1) Embrace technology: Technology is crucial in education today. English teachers must be proficient in using tools like online platforms, digital resources, and multimedia materials to enhance language learning.

2) Foster creativity: Encouraging creativity in the English classroom boosts students' language skills and engagement.

3) Cultural competence: Understand and appreciate different cultures, and incorporate cultural elements into your lessons.

4) Continuous professional development: Stay effective by committing to ongoing professional growth.

In my point of view, I should be familiar with various educational tools and classroom technologies to enhance learning experiences. So, with changing trends and technologies, I should be willing to adapt teaching methods and materials to cater to evolving student needs.

All in all, having all skills will help me effectively navigate the challenges of the 21st-century classroom and provide meaningful and engaging learning experiences for my students.

Hello,Mr.Mitollab Zadeh

When it comes to be an effective teacher I should say that a teacher should be thoughtful. He / she should be patient and have positive attitude with students .The teacher should be able to adjust the way of teaching based on his/ her learner's needs, wants and situations. The teacher also should consider learners' identities and differences as a basis for teaching. And as you mentioned getting some thing out of nothing. As a teacher we should be creative and not to follow just a single method.we should try various strategies to see which on it work or doesn't work on our classroom.

Hello Mr. Motallebzade

To be digitally smart .We live in the age of technology and we cannot deny the fact that today technology is like water for humans and this necessity is more vital for Gen Z.

And as someone whose life is intertwined with this generation, I have to update myself and try to connect with them in the way they like the most.

In my mind,we need a combination of skills that lead us to be an effective teachers. But in 21st century the most important skill that is on top of the list is to be digitally smart besides other skills.

Specially technological skills.Actually an effective teacher must use these skills together: technological proficiency, communication (communicate with Ss and parents too), Creativity(in order to engage Ss),Adaptability ,Cultural competence and sensitive to the needs and background of the Ss.
