TeacherAysee

Hi, my name is Ayşegül. I graduated from Hacettepe University in the department of English Language Teaching. I'm an English teacher in a private institution now. I can teach both English and Turkish.

First and foremost, I want to start with one of my favourite quotation from Richard Henry Dana(!) (I'm not sure whether this quotation belongs to him or not, but I liked it. :) “He who dares to teach must never cease to learn.” First of all, we as teachers must improve ourselves about everything such as cultural knowledge, technology, best seller books new novels etc. We should keep up with the times and try to understand our students.
Then we should know students’ interests, needs, backgrounds and their level of English / Turkish. If we know the aforementioned things, it would be easier for us to decide what kind of materials we can use to attract their attention. Also, one of the key points is that we should motivate the students to learn. As teachers we should teach our students why they learn language/grammar/vocabulary etc. rather than just memorization. Regarding teaching methods we can use student-centered methods. We should use examples from real life so they can broaden students’ knowledge. Also using examples from real life, help students to internalize the examples. I strongly believe that we should make our students acquire the language from all aspects including reading, listening, writing, and speaking.
All in all, as a teacher we have lots of things to do. One of our most important responsibilities’ is to help students to understand that they have enough power and capacity to learn a language if they are determined enough....

嗨，我叫 Ayşegül。我毕业于哈塞特佩大学英语语言教学系。我现在是一家私立机构的英语老师。我可以教英语和土耳其语。

首先，我想以理查德·亨利·达纳 (Richard Henry Dana) 的一句我最喜欢的名言开始（我不确定这句话是不是他的，但我很喜欢。:)“敢于教学的人永远不能停止学习。”首先，作为教师，我们必须提高自己所有方面的知识，例如文化知识、技术、畅销书、新小说等。我们应该与时俱进，努力了解我们的学生。
然后，我们应该了解学生的兴趣、需求、背景以及他们的英语/土耳其语水平。如果我们知道上述内容，我们就更容易决定使用什么样的材料来吸引他们的注意力。此外，关键点之一是我们应该激励学生学习。作为老师，我们应该教学生为什么要学习语言/语法/词汇等，而不是仅仅死记硬背。关于教学方法，我们可以采用以学生为中心的方法。我们应该使用现实生活中的例子，这样可以拓宽学生的知识面。同时使用现实生活中的例子，帮助学生内化这些例子。我坚信我们应该让学生从各个方面掌握语言，包括阅读、听力、写作和口语。
总之，作为一名老师，我们有很多事情要做。我们最重要的职责之一是帮助学生理解，如果他们有足够的决心，他们就有足够的力量和能力学习一门语言……
