32. Ideal teacher: what is he like?
Few of those engaged in training teachers would conceive of a teacher who would be ideal for all and any teaching circumstances. The art and craft of teaching is so diverse that no such paragon would be likely to exist. What is possible, however, is to conceive of an ideal which is redefined in terms of the particular kinds of teaching situations the teacher actually proposes to engage in. Such an "ideal" teacher would possess personal qualities, technical abilities and professional understanding of the following kinds:
1) Personal qualities. These include both inherent qualities and other qualities acquired through experience, education, or training. Equally, it is obvious that the teacher must be intelligent, have a non-discouraging personality, and display emotional maturity. Among the acquired qualities are to be included a wide experience of life, an adequate level of personal education and sufficient command of the subject he is teaching.
2) Technical abilities. These are of three kinds: first ability to discern and assess the progress and difficulties of his pupils, an unhesitating control of the teaching in his class so as to maximize the role of learning; secondly a fluent and responsive grasp of classroom skills and techniques; and thirdly a "creative familiarity" with the syllabus and materials being used in his classes.
3) Professional understanding. This refers to a sense of perspective that sees the teacher's own particular task in relation to all types of teaching situations, to an awareness of trends and developments in methods of teaching, and to an acceptance that it is in his professional duty to go on improving his professional effectiveness throughout his career.
Assignments:

33. (From "The Diary of a Young English Teacher" by Saw Ginsburg) First Month
Sunday, February, 28
This morning I am not awakened by the buzzing of an alarm clock. I did not set it last night. I wanted to test if I could get up in time for the first period without the alarm clock's help. I look at my watch: 6.10. One hour and twenty minutes till the first bell – time enough and to spare.
I sit up in bed and drowsily recite from memory the little speech I am going to make in class tomorrow morning.
"Good morning, comrades. First of all, allow me to introduce myself– my name is Huang Pan. I am your new English teacher. I have just graduated from the Foreign Languages Department of our university. I have no teaching experience at all and my English is not very good. But I'll do my very best to help you master the English language. If there are any shortcomings in my work, I hope you'll point them out to me...
"The people of China are now working hard to modernize our great motherland. In order to accelerate carrying out this task, we have to learn from the advanced experience of other countries..."
