Who is a good English teacher? There are many ways to define good English teacher. Most people would agree that good English teachers are caring, supportive, concerned about the welfare of students, knowledgeable about subject matter and capable of speaking fluently, excited about the work that they do. English teachers must have different properties from other teachers. They do not only teach a subject. They teach a language, a culture and a new glance to the world. Besides characteristics and other common qualifications, a good English teacher should have a great deal of general culture, (s)he should know what is happing in the world and especially countries where English is spoken as a native language. Teaching a language is difficult and may be impossible if your students do not like it and want to learn. This is your duty. They first like you and your job and then English. I have a lot of English teachers in my educational life but none of them is the teacher I dreaming. One of them has good characteristics but do not know anything about English and general culture. One has a good memory, general culture and knows much about English and their culture but does not have good characteristics to be an affective and a good teacher. The good teacher I think have all of this characteristics and qualities, (s)he should like teaching and their students.
