PART II: DEVELOPMENT CHAPTER I: LITERATURE REVIEW 1.1 Different views on the roles of an English language teacher Based on the results in the study of Arafat S (683-685), (Vol 19 (2), 2005) (research on the roles of English Language Teachers as Perceived by Learners of English) showed that: Regardless of the amount of time the teachers spend with their students in managing English classes They have different roles that affect their student’s learning Some of these functions display through daily contact with students in the classrooms and concern relate instructions, others results from students affect to teachers in the large school settings and may affect students’ general linguistics, social and cultural development Language teachers must make decisions all the time Some of the decisions are relatively minor ones, but other decisions that the teacher should consider might be the major roles of the teacher in managing English classes and what are the potential roles that the teacher can play and lead to best results in proving students with chances to participate and to be responsible for their learning These roles have been dealt with differently in different teaching methods Suggestoptia Lazanov (1982), O’Connell (1982) and Racle (1979) viewed the role is the authority in the classroom, students must trust their teacher and respect him/her Lazanov also showed that students will retain information better if they get it from someone whom they can trust and who has authority on them The role of the teacher as suggested by Gattegno (1972), Madesen (1979) is the role of an engineer or a technician The learners are helped by the teacher in their learning The teacher will help their students if they need Blair (1982) and Curran (1976) indicated that counselor role is the major role of the teacher To learn the foreign language, students can be threatened Thus, the teacher helps them overcome the difficulties dealt with learning it The roles of the teacher according to the communicative approach as suggested by, Celce-Murcia (1983), Brumfit (1979) and Madsen (1983) that the teacher is seen as facilitor of the learners’ learning 12 Harmer (1991) showed that the roles of the teacher is to provide students with different situations related to the real life Students will have many choice to practice authentic situations which make them understand more easily Students are shown how to perform language functions are decided which functions are more important for which level According to Diller (1978) and Paulston (1971) suggested that in the classroom the teacher directs the activities and the students’ role is less passive than the others They are more like partners in two process: teaching and learning In this role, the teacher participates and works with students in activities The roles of teachers are different so teachers should base on students’ need in their learning process to act these roles to get high effectiveness Prodromou (1991) also suggested several roles for the teacher, for example, a manager, a monitor, a counselor, an informant, facilitator, a social and a friend Stevick (1996) suggested that teachers and students have many expectations in order to have effective language classrooms This state means that both teacher and students should be involved in the activity They may get interactions during the teaching and learning process Underhill (1989) also believed that the teachers can play difference roles They can be lecturers, teachers and facilitators Larsen-Freeman (1986) believed that the teacher can be a supporter Teacher should encourage students to work individual to promote their self reliance The teacher is also seen as a motivator and stimulator, a prompter These point of views show that when teachers act any roles, they have to consider what their students need and expect from them Teachers know what and how to with their students in using these roles to work in learning activities Harmer J (1994) mentions list of roles of a language teacher as a prompter, a participant, a resource, an assessor, a controller, a tutor, an observer and an organizer In the role of a prompter teacher helps students with vocabularies, gives a group / a pair suggestions on how to continue Teachers also prompt students to use English, asks questions to check understandings so that students can work on their own Nevertheless teacher need to it sensitively and encouragingly with description 13 Teacher joins in activities to encourage students to participate and help them with the answers when the teacher acts as a participant Teacher can be dominant because when he/she participate in activities if he/she isn’t careful, students will become passive Teacher acts as a resource is a person for students to ask information they need and where to find further information Encouraging and directly making students more independent with their learning In the role of an assessor, teacher provides students feedback, corrects, grades and provides criteria for them In this role, teacher should make it clear for students to get their clear ideas, should be fair and be sensitive support When teacher acts as a controller, he/she teaches, give announcement, lead a question and gives students knowledge Teacher restores order when students tests or misbehavior Besides these advantages, this role has some disadvantages Students become passive because they not have much chance to speak and not have experimental learning Teacher may be tired and students may be bored There are no activities so the classroom atmosphere boring Teacher helps students when students work on long projects, directs, guides and points them In the role of a tutor, teacher should be careful not to take over Teacher don’t focus on the person who he/she likes, distribute your tutoring to everyone who needs it In the role of an observe, it is very important for teacher to give students useful feedback and helpful to take notes If it is a success, it will give teacher different feelings If they are problems, they will help teacher find the ways to help them to solve Teachers should be careful not to be intrusive (officious) Teacher should sit in the back not get to close students or he/she will disturb students when they are thinking Organize is one of the most important roles that teacher have to perform in English class In this role, teacher organize activities, puts students into groups or pairs, tells them how to it, how to start or how to end When students start activities, teacher gives short and clear instruction and tells them how much time they have When students end, teacher stops the students and gives them feedback Arafat, S (687 - 688) (research on the roles of language Teachers) also emphasized in the study: Cross (1995) on the other hand emphasized that prospective language teachers should try their best to be in contact with current affairs, global issues, social concerns, 47 31 Madsen, H (1979) Innovating Methodologies Applicable to TESL In teaching English as a second or foreign language, ed Marianne Celce Murcia and Lois Mclntosh, Rowley,
