TASK 1
1. TASK 1.
a) What does the subject mean to teach me?
in a few words I could say teach, instruct, and train mean to cause to gain
knowledge or skill. teach can be used of any method of passing on information
or skill so that others may learn.
b) What are the deadlines?
Enthuse.
Introduce the subject and explain its usefulness.
Explain the topic using meaningful examples.
Evaluate continuously.
Invite to learn something for yourself.
Impart an integrating class.
c) When am I mean to deliver? How much time do I have for each task?
Having a work methodology is not only important so that the professional can
organize, work better and follow a work rhythm without unforeseen events, but
also helps to deliver better results and in the stipulated times for each work
activity
d) Why is teacher development important to the language teachers?
As we all know that learning a second language today gives us valuable
opportunities both professionally and economically, as a language teacher it is
essential to be trained and to be up to date with new teaching techniques and acquire
more knowledge, in our country teachers must have a good academic level since the
teaching of a new language implies that the academic and professional level of the
teachers must be excellent and that it complies with the norms of the higher
education.
e) What is the way to develop professionally?
Here are 10 ways to take control of your leadership development.
1. Hone a Learning Mindset: Having a positive attitude towards professional
development is vital.
2. Examine Your Decisions: One difference between great leaders and
mediocre ones is a willingness to examine past actions and decisions in
order to improve.
3. Read Regularly: Read widely, not only about current events but also
subjects that can broaden your horizons, such as history.
4. Write Regularly: Writing has multiple benefits for leaders. It can help you
master the content, improve your critical thinking skills.
5. Attend Training Programs: Books and articles only take you so far.
6. Teach What You Know: that teaching is one of the most underused tools in
leadership development. I agree. There is no better way to master something
than by trying to impart your knowledge and skills to others. It makes you
think about the material in new ways. In my experience, sometimes you
learn more from your "students" than they do from you. Take advantage of
opportunities to teach
7. Build Self-Awareness: While it may sound cliché, self-awareness is critical
to effective leadership.
8. Gather Feedback: In the work area, information can be collected with co-
workers since the different teachers have various forms, tools or methods
for teaching
9. Find Mentors: Develop relationships with people who have been in your
shoes. Speaking of feedback, mentors or coaches are often in a position to
give you objective advice that you may not get on the job. Find someone
who will give you honest, unvarnished input.
10. Cultivate Peer Relationships: You should develop relationships with as
many people in your industry as possible. This is important for keeping up
with developments and gaining new perspectives and ideas.
