example and will never forget some good teachers. If a teacher gives a very successful lesson, the students may keep it in mind for quite a few years. Students, especially the younger ones, would like to have a close relation with their teachers. They often regard their teachers highly as the old and their relatives.Teachers should set up a friendly relationship with the students. A teacher with a caring attitude towards the students is more likely to win the trust and cooperation from the students. If the students are afraid of the teacher or trying to keep a respectful distance from the teacher, how can we expect them to participate in the classroom activities? So the teacher must be sensitive to the students’ needs. He must love them, trust them and be patient to them. In turn, the students respect the teacher and would be more cooperative.So teachers should set a good example for students and instruct by perception and example every time and everywhere. Loving and Trusting StudentsA teacher who cares and shares the needs, joys and sorrows of the students certainly wins their trust and respect. In front of students the teacher often stands at a superior position. But remember that every student, no matter how young he is, has his own dignity. So try to address them by name and avoid criticizing them in public. For instance, many teachers believe that they should keep a student who is absent minded in class alert by giving abrupt questions to them. In fact, this method has no positive effect, and only hurts the students’ feeling because he thinks that the teacher just want to embarrass him in front of the class.(Ferster, 1975)Teachers should trust every student. The premise of trustworthiness is respect. Teachers should have the same attitude towards different students. Students should be trusted, respected, and taken good care of. The youngsters are pure, enthusiastic and always active if they are respected, trusted and encouraged. They will fully develop their intelligence and have a high zeal for study. In the process of teaching, teachers should try their best to enable every student to have a chance to display their capability. Teachers should show their trustworthiness to students. They should believe that every student has his own capability. What’s more, teachers should treat the students as friends, in this case, they are more likely to establish a good relationship with the students and win their trust. In trustful eyes of teachers, students are willing to learn. In turn, teachers are willing to teach. Being Earnest and Responsible for TeachingA teacher should be earnest and responsible for his work. Students can easily find out whether a teacher is responsible for or cares for his work. Before the teacher goes into the classroom, he must have fully prepared his lessons. After class, he must carefully mark the exercise books and give specific ments on their work at times, the teacher should have an individual talk with each student of his class about the weaknesses the students have and the progress the students have made. This kind of talking should be about honesty, emotion, encouragement and inspiration. During the talking, teachers should encourage the students to overe their weaknesses. Being Honest about His Weaknesses and IgnoranceEnglish teachers should be honest about their weaknesses and ignorance. If he does not know something, he would like to admit it frankly. But he always tries to make it up after class. For instance, if a student asks a question he cannot answer or he is not sure of, he would tell him that he will consult reference books or ask experts, and he will tell him later on. To acknowledge one’s ignorance does not lose his face. On the contrary, it shows his confidence and modesty. (Barber, 1984)4.
