How to teach well

All teachers always think about how to teach well, especially new teachers. Because the teachers who has taught for a long time have usually their own method. But new teachers, they usually haven`t enough experience, so it is difficult to teach well.

I think universities and colleges give us academic knowledge well, but our practical knowledge usually not enough to teach well in real life of teacher.

Although academic knowledge is very important to teach, we need practical experience. 
So I have some advices of practical experience:

Of course you have to have good lesson plan, know your lessons well and other academic things.
But I just want to help for your practical teach. 

  1. Voice accent: You must change your voice accent when you teach. Important thing is you should know that when you speak loudly or quietly. But I think, if you are teacher, you must be able to speak loudly and say your words clearly. Speak loud is not shout!!!
  2. Body language: It is very useful thing. If teachers always just speak speak speak when they teach. It is very boring to students. So we must use our body language but it doesn`t mean that you just move. Your face`s conversion is very important. Teachers are not a boss, so you must be able to smile at your students. But if your students always do bad thing or don`t in your class, you also must be able to angry with them. 
  3. Make joke: Sometime students need funny time. So teachers should know some jokes. Be careful! don`t say bad words when you make joke.
  4. Know each students` name: Teachers must know their all students` name. If you want your students to be attend to your lesson, you must memorize your students` names.  You should have your own note with your students names. Because students really like that their teacher call them their names. And they attend very well when teachers call them their name.
Teachers are like a compass, if we teach well, our students go to right way!
