• How can you adapt your own style of teaching to accommodate to the needs and motivations of young learners?  

I believe the teacher must adapt to his/her students’ needs. Therefore, to plan the work before giving a class is so important. And you can adapt your own style in order to accommodate the exigencies of your learners. In my case to be an involver teacher is the best choice to transmit a topic. And you can use a course book material that can be very useful at that time, and make an activity rout map in which you can organize step by step every activity that will be developed and it can help to rise the motivation of students. It can be achieved reading didactics books, articles on the net, and watching teaching videos about how to teach and be creative in the classroom.

My teaching experience has been really helpful, interesting, and pleasant, but at the same time I have realized how difficult and compromising is to be a good teacher. During my teaching experience I have learned many things about the children’s behavior and the way in which we have to solve some of the most common troubles with them.

 Thus, I consider that I as a teacher have to accommodate myself to the needs and motivations of young learners because If I do it, my students will feel comfortable. However, I also have to develop my own style inside the classroom because in this way, the students will know very well how I am with them in order to give a good teaching process.

In my opinion the characteristics of good teaching are the motivation, interest and effort that the teacher has in doing his/her material. All these are reflected in the way and kind of activities the teacher prepares for his/her children.

On the other hand, the characteristics of not so good teaching are the lack of importance and interest we add to our projects.

I also consider that the role of the teacher is essential in everything, but also the teacher has to perform an appropriate and correct role because sometimes we, as teachers, tend to exaggerate in performing our role. We have to have a harmonious relation with our students and try to be always in communion with them because according to the rapport we have, we are going to get better results.

In conclusion, I can mention that we teachers must know the importance of creating our own style because If we do it, we will know what to do in any situation.
