Desc\u00fabrelo aqu\u00ed.<\/p>\n<p>Para la mayor\u00eda de las personas esta podr\u00eda parecer una pregunta sencilla. Un profesor deber\u00eda ense\u00f1ar, as\u00ed como un alumno deber\u00eda aprender. Sin embargo, como sabr\u00e1 cualquiera que haya tenido buenas y malas experiencias de aprendizaje,\u00a0 la respuesta no es tan f\u00e1cil de definir.<\/p>\n<p>De hecho, podr\u00edamos argumentar que la afirmaci\u00f3n \u201cun profesor deber\u00eda ense\u00f1ar\u201d es cuestionable. \u201cAprendizaje\u201d es la palabra clave en educaci\u00f3n y la responsabilidad de un profesor es crear condiciones \u00f3ptimas para que ese aprendizaje tenga lugar. A continuaci\u00f3n ten\u00e9is una lista de aquellas cosas que un profesor de idiomas deber\u00eda hacer para que ocurra:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Buena organizaci\u00f3n: <\/strong>La clase deber\u00eda tener una estructura definida con objetivos fijados, un comienzo y un fin claro y una fluidez l\u00f3gica entre medias. Tu profesor deber\u00eda comunicarte los objetivos a medio y largo plazo y revisarlos contigo peri\u00f3dicamente.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tener la actitud correcta:<\/strong> el aprendizaje de un idioma requiere diversi\u00f3n, amabilidad y energ\u00eda para trabajar adecuadamente. Los estudiantes tienen que contribuir pero es el profesor el que deber\u00eda llevar la iniciativa. Una clase de idiomas debe ser divertida y un lugar en el que te sientas c\u00f3modo y en el que experimentar con el lenguaje. Un buen profesor es entusiasta con el idioma, con la comunicaci\u00f3n y con la gente, y ello sin duda motivar\u00e1 a sus alumnos. La motivaci\u00f3n es una parte crucial del trabajo de un profesor, as\u00ed que si no te sientes motivado, \u00a1com\u00e9ntaselo!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Comunicar bien: <\/strong>ya sea dando instrucciones, involucrando a los alumnos en las conversaciones o haciendo una demostraci\u00f3n de habilidades comunicativas un profesor deber\u00eda tener la claridad y expresividad de un buen comunicador. Esto incluye explicar o negociar los objetivos de cada clase as\u00ed como tu programa al completo. El profesor deber\u00eda tambi\u00e9n instruirte sobre el proceso de aprendizaje en s\u00ed mismo: c\u00f3mo aprender mejor, buenas pr\u00e1cticas para el aprendizaje y el auto-estudio.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Saber que usar el idioma es aprenderlo:<\/strong> una clase de idiomas deber\u00eda ser comunicativa con un fuerte \u00e9nfasis en el uso del idioma. La realizaci\u00f3n de ejercicios sueltos en papel deber\u00edan reducirse al m\u00ednimo al tiempo que se maximizan las oportunidades de practicar y aprender con el uso efectivo del idioma, incluso en niveles bajos.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Identificar al individuo:<\/strong> un buen profesor tendr\u00e1 en cuenta los perfiles individuales de cada estudiante asignando y adaptando las actividades de la clase de acuerdo a esos perfiles. El profesor debe saber que personas diferentes tienen maneras de aprender diferentes y deber ser capaz de explotar este conocimiento incluso en clases grupales. Adem\u00e1s, aunque diferentes alumnos puedan ser tratados de forma diferente de acuerdo a su personalidad y a su forma de aprender, todos deber\u00edan sentir que reciben suficiente atenci\u00f3n individual por parte de su profesor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ser experto: <\/strong>un profesor es un consultor y deber\u00eda ser capaz de resolver tus dudas y preguntas. Pero si tus cuestiones no est\u00e1n relacionadas con el tema de la clase, puede que se necesite tiempo para investigar \u2013 \u00a1los idiomas son algo complejo y puede ser dif\u00edcil recordar todo al instante!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Saber cu\u00e1ndo ser discreto: <\/strong>cuando asistes a una clase de idiomas es tu clase y tu tiempo. Un buen profesor no deber\u00eda ser la \u201cestrella\u201d de la clase o una figura autoritaria tradicional sino un facilitador que sabe como minimizar su presencia para darte espacio para expresarte y utilizar el idioma.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ser flexible:<\/strong> un profesor bueno y experimentado tendr\u00e1 un plan B, estar\u00e1 dispuesto a cambiar la direcci\u00f3n de la clase y a admitir que algo no est\u00e1 funcionando bien. Se adaptar\u00e1 y cambiar\u00e1 el material del curso para adaptarse a ti o a las necesidades de tu grupo.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ser mentor y gu\u00eda:<\/strong> un buen profesor se queda contigo cuando acaba la clase. Se asegura de que sepas como repasar lo que has estudiado y es conocedor de los innumerables recursos y herramientas disponibles para que te involucres con el ingl\u00e9s en tu tiempo libre. Utiliza el tiempo de clase para hablar contigo sobre estas opciones y se interesa por tu contacto con el ingl\u00e9s fuera de la misma. Consigue que quieras explorar el ingl\u00e9s m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de tus horas de clase.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dar y recibir feedback:<\/strong> Felicitar por el buen uso del lenguaje, corregir los errores, y hacer sugerencias peri\u00f3dicas sobre opciones de estudio adicionales. Estos son algunos tipos de feedback que un profesor de idiomas deber\u00eda dar a sus alumnos para optimizar su aprendizaje y demostrar que les escucha de forma individual. Un buen profesor deber\u00eda estar tambi\u00e9n abierto al feedback de sus estudiantes y a las opiniones de lo que quieren hacer en clase y en qu\u00e9 \u00e1reas les gustar\u00eda enfocarse m\u00e1s. Deber\u00edas sentir siempre que tienes voz en el contenido y direcci\u00f3n de tus clases. Un buen profesor siempre querr\u00e1 hacerlo a\u00fan mejor, por eso tu feedback es importante para \u00e9l.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Utilizar recursos:<\/strong> tu profesor deber\u00eda hacer uso de todo aquello que pueda mejorar tu experiencia de aprendizaje. Esto incluye la manera en que organiza las mesas y sillas dentro del aula, el uso apropiado de pizarras y proyectores si est\u00e1n disponibles, o la utilizaci\u00f3n de im\u00e1genes u objetos reales para iniciar una conversaci\u00f3n. Y sobre todo tu profesor deber\u00eda incluir en sus clases y sacar el m\u00e1ximo provecho a la tecnolog\u00eda disponible. El material audiovisual deber\u00eda ser parte de tus clases y tu profesor deber\u00eda conocer los recursos y herramientas online para aconsejarte sobre c\u00f3mo prolongar \u00a0el aprendizaje fuera de la<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>No existe un profesor de idiomas perfecto. Todos tenemos nuestras fortalezas y debilidades y es dif\u00edcil marcar todas las casillas. Sin embargo, como alumno de idiomas es importante que conozcas las buenas pr\u00e1cticas de los profesores y sepas de esta manera reconocer si se te est\u00e1n ofreciendo las condiciones \u00f3ptimas para convertirte en un estudiante de idiomas exitoso. Si tienes esas condiciones, entonces est\u00e1s en la plataforma correcta para hacer grandes progresos, \u00a1el resto depende de ti!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/IMG_0607.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4090 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/IMG_0607.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"375\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/IMG_0607.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/IMG_0607-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/IMG_0607-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/IMG_0607-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>What Should Your Teacher Be Doing for You?<\/h3>\n<p>For some people this might seem an easy question.\u00a0 A teacher should teach, just as a student should learn.\u00a0 However, as anybody who has been able to compare both good and bad learning experiences will know, the answer is not so easy to define.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, we could argue that the assertion \u2018a teacher should teach\u2019 is questionable.\u00a0 \u2018Learning\u2019 is the key word in education and a teacher\u2019s responsibility is to create the optimum conditions for that learning to take place.\u00a0 The following is a checklist of some of the things a language teacher should do in order for that to happen:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Organise well<\/strong>: your class should have a definite structure with stated objectives, a clear beginning and end and a logical flow in between. Your teacher should make you aware of medium-term or long-term objectives and review these with you periodically.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Have the right attitude<\/strong>: language learning requires fun, friendliness and energy to work well. The students have to contribute to this but the teacher needs to take the lead.\u00a0 A language class has to be enjoyable and a comfortable place to be and to experiment with the language!\u00a0 A good teacher is enthusiastic about language, communication and people, and this will motivate her students.\u00a0 Motivation is a crucial part of a teacher\u2019s job, so if you don\u2019t feel motivated, talk to her about it!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Communicate well<\/strong>: whether giving instructions, engaging in conversation or demonstrating communication skills a teacher must have the clarity and expressiveness of a good communicator. This includes explaining, or negotiating, the objectives of each class and your programme as a whole.\u00a0 She should also talk to you about the learning process itself: how you learn best, good practices for learning and self-study.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Know that using language is learning language<\/strong>: a language class must be communicative with a heavy emphasis on using the language. The use of solitary exercises on paper should be minimised with maximum opportunity to practice and learn by actually using the language, even at low levels.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recognise the individual<\/strong>: a good teacher will take individual learner profiles into account and assign and adapt class activities accordingly. This teacher will know that different people learn best in different ways and be able to exploit this knowledge, even in a group class.\u00a0 Additionally, although different students may be treated differently according to their personality type and the way they learn best, all students should feel they are receiving sufficient individual attention from their teacher.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be knowledgeable<\/strong>: a teacher is a consultant and should be able to resolve your doubts and questions. But if your question does not relate to the topic of the class, she may need some time to research \u2013 languages are large and complex things and it can be difficult to instantly remember everything!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Know when to be discreet<\/strong>: when you attend a language class it is your class and your time. A good teacher is not the \u2018star\u2019 of the class or a traditional authority figure but a facilitator who knows how to minimise her presence to give you room to express yourself and use the language.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be flexible<\/strong>: a good, experienced teacher will have a plan B, be willing to change the direction of a class and admit when something isn\u2019t working. She will adapt and change the course material you are using to suit you or your group\u2019s needs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be a mentor and guide<\/strong>: a good teacher stays with you when you leave the classroom. She makes sure you know how to revise what you have studied in the class and knows about the abundant resources and tools available to engage with English in your free time.\u00a0 She uses class time to talk about these options with you and takes an interest in your contact with English outside class. \u00a0She makes you want to explore English outside the classroom.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Give and receive feedback<\/strong>: praise for good language use, error-correction, sharing of good language, periodic suggestions about further study options. These are types of feedback a language teacher should give to her students to optimise their learning and show that she is really listening to them as individuals.\u00a0 A teacher should also be open to feedback from her students and their opinions about what they like doing in class and which areas they would like to focus on more.\u00a0 You should always feel that you have a say in the content and direction of your classes.\u00a0 A good teacher always wants to be even better, so your feedback is important to her.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Using resources<\/strong>: your teacher should make use of everything they can to improve your learning experience. This includes how to arrange tables and chairs, making appropriate use of whiteboards and projectors, if available, and using images or real objects to start conversation.\u00a0 Above all, your teacher should welcome and make good use of technology.\u00a0 Audiovisual material should play a part in your classes and your teacher should know about online resources and tools to advise you on how to continue your learning outside the classroom.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There is no such thing as a perfect language teacher.\u00a0 All of us have our strengths and weaknesses and it is difficult to tick all the boxes.\u00a0 However, from the point of view of the language student it is important and empowering to have a perspective on good practice from your teacher in order to be aware if you are being provided with the right conditions to be a successful language learner.\u00a0 If you do have those conditions, then you have the right platform to make some serious progress and the rest is up to you!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Ed-blog-signature.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4217\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Ed-blog-signature.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Ed-blog-signature.png 1400w, https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Ed-blog-signature-300x43.png 300w, https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Ed-blog-signature-768x110.png 768w, https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Ed-blog-signature-1024x146.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seguro que durante tu vida has tenido un mont\u00f3n de profesores. \u00bfC\u00f3mo distinguir verdaderamente a los profesionales de los que no lo son?
