2. The Road to Teaching

3. QUOTATIONS ABOUT TEACHERS
• The mediocre teacher tells. The good
teacher explains. The superior teacher
demonstrates. The great teacher
inspires. ~William Arthur Ward
• The best teacher is the one who suggests
rather than dogmatizes, and inspires his
listener with the wish to teach
himself. ~Edward Bulwer-Lytton
A teacher is a compass that activates
the magnets of curiosity, knowledge,
and wisdom in the pupils. ~Ever
Garrison

4. LEARNING AND THE LEARNER

5. Autonomous Learning
• Autonomous learning can be promoted
• Learning to learn is regarded as an
integral part of language learning, so AS
learners we should become
increasingly aware of the way we learn,
the options open to us and the options
that best suit us
• We can be brought increasingly to make
choices in respect of objectives,
materials and working methods in the
light of our own needs, motivations,
characteristics, and resources
• Be exposed to the guidelines, course
program.

Learners

13. TO REFLECT
• In the past few decades learning, including language
learning, has increasingly been seen not just as the
accumulation of sets of fixed items of knowledge, but
also as the ability to change, adapt, and update
these items according to both the needs of the
individual learner, and the requirements of the
contexts in which knowledge needs to be used
Luciano Mariani
