H. Douhlas Brown, "TEACHING by PRINCIPLES" Longman (2001)
I remembered this book when I was writing my first post to "Week 5 Discussion".
Its chapter 11&12 are about interactive language teaching. I bookmarked pp. 167-168. I used this textbook when I learned in University of Washington. I still remember very clearly when I first read this chapter and knew teacher's roles, as many as five roles partly because this concept was quite new to me. The five roles of the interactive teacher are;
1. The Teacher as Controller
2. The Teacher as Director
3. The Teacher as Manager
4. The Teacher as Facilitator
5. The Teacher as Resource
Now I have got a good chance to read this again and have to think teacher's roles in PBL classes.
Hi Masafi,
ReplyDeleteAs I wrote in my blog, where I quoted you: If we have 5 roles, we should get five salaries!
Yeah right...
Hi, Avraham,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment.
I agree with you that this is quite tough. Yet, when I was reading Susan's paper, I observed her playing some of these roles.
I am still wondering if some of these roles are required to make PBL successful.
Five salaries!?
Yes, also I am still dreaming of... :)
