Teachers are attempting to find out more effective methods to enhance the teaching results of English speaking. Facing the great demands and present difficulties of oral English classes, teachers have to conduct more study and practice to find out what roles that an oral English teacher has to take in the oral English classroom. Compared with the traditional teaching role in the English classroom, an oral English teacher has to fulfill more than one role in the classroom teaching so as to provide better learning conditions for students. Lacking more exposure to the real interaction with native speakers, students expect the oral English teacher to be a creator of the language environment. With various teaching and learning activities in the oral English classroom, the teacher has to be a good organizer to ensure every student to achieve improvement. An oral English teacher also has to correct students'language errors while ensuring the smooth progress of the classroom teaching. Only when an oral English teacher make clear what roles he or she has to take in the classroom can he or she achieve effective teaching.展开更多

They not only play vital roles in students' development;they also directly affect the stature of their respective scholastic organizations. Highly qualified instructors produce competent and well-rounded students— learners who are more than ready to face the quirks and challenges of the labor force. This paper primarily discusses the following questions: What is teacher's professional development? What is higher vocational teacher's professional development? And how can scholastic institutions promote it? The conclusion states that the characteristics of higher vocational education directly influence the higher vocational teacher's professional development; therefore, it must be nurtured and promoted for the development of all the stakeholders of learning institutions – students, teachers, management staff,the learning institution itself, and the nation as a whole.展开更多

The learner-centered approach is advocated by constructivism. And constructivism emphasizes the importance of the learner being actively involved in the learning process. Thus teacher's task has changed to construct and arrange learning environment. In this environment, student is planner, monitor and also evaluator; while teacher acts as administrator, organizer, catalyst, facilitator, consultant, diagnostician, guide, and model of learning instead of the source of knowledge, the disseminator of knowledge and the implanter in the learning process. As for ELL of the tertiary-level students, teachers should have some new teaching methods with the instruction of constructivism, such as transmitting knowledge, exposing learners to tasks, creating a supportive learning environment, etc.展开更多
