PRINCIPLES OF TEACHING

Effective teaching involves

acquiring relevant
knowledge about students
and using that knowledge
to inform our course design
and classroom teaching.

The process of learning is

primarily controlled by the
learner and not by the teacher.

19
 Principle 1: Encourage contact
between students and teachers.
Building rapport with students is very important. The contact between
students and teachers are vital to the students' success.

views and
participate in
class
discussions.
20
 Principle 2: Develop cooperation among students
When students are encouraged, more learning takes place.

Encourage students to share their viewpoints on

topics shared in class.

Principle 3: Encourage active learning

Learning is an active process. Students are not able to learn much by
only sitting in classes listening to teachers, memorizing pre-packaged
assignments, and churning out answers.

They must be able to talk about what they are learning, write about it,
relate it to past experiences, and apply it to their daily lives. Students
need to make learning a part of themselves

Ask students to relate what they are learning

21
to something in real life.
 Principle 4: Give prompt feedback
By knowing what you know and do not know gives a
focus to learning. In order for students to benefit
from courses, they need appropriate feedback on
their performance. When starting out, students need
help in evaluating their current knowledge and
capabilities.
.

Principle 5: Have Patience

Young learners have a lot of personality fit into a little 22
frame. As such, they need to wiggle and move.
